Answer:
8 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
First, draw a picture. The pole is 22 feet tall. Katherine is 5.5 feet tall. She is 24 feet from the pole. The light from the top of the pole to the tip of her shadow forms two similar right triangles. The length of her shadow is x.
Now use similar triangles to write a proportion:
22 / (24 + x) = 5.5 / x
Cross multiply:
22x = 5.5 (24 + x)
Distribute:
22x = 132 + 5.5x
Combine like terms:
16.5x = 132
Divide:
x = 8
The shadow is 8 feet long.
-5n-8(1+7n)=8
Let's simplify everything.
-5n-8-56n=8
Put the variables on one side and the numbers on the other.
-5n-56n=8+8
Combine like terms.
-61n=16
n=-16/61
Hope I helped! :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To get the answer just use the numbers from the table which you have stated and you are right, you do get a long decimal.
