Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

9^2 + 8^2 = c^2

81 + 64 = c^2

144 = c^2

$\sqrt{144}$ = c

Remember, C is <u>always</u> the hypotenuse, or the longest side. A and B can be either base.

What is the solution to this inequality?

madam [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 7 > -6

x > -6 + 7

x > 1

• We change the inequality sign if we multiply or divide a negative number from both sides. But since it’s positive and we added it we won’t change the inequality sign.

A lamp post with a height of 12 ft casts a shadow of 6 ft. A fire hydrant near it casts a shadow that is 1.5 ft long. How tall i

alex41 [277]

Answer:

3ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Height of lamp, h=12ft

Height of shadow, l=6ft

Height of shadow of hydrant, l'=1.5ft

Let height of hydrant=h'

We have to find the height of fire hydrant.

All right triangles are similar

When two triangles are similar then, the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal.

Using the property

$\frac{h}{h'}=\frac{l}{l'}$

$\frac{12}{h'}=\frac{6}{1.5}$

$h'=\frac{12\times 1.5}{6}$

$h'=3$ ft

Hence, the height of fire hydrant=3 ft

$12.98 each. You would do $56.07 - $4.15. Then divide the answer of that by four.
