Make a ratio:
<span>
Make sure shadow is in same location on both fractions (either numerator or denominator) </span>
x/90=5/8
Cross multiply:
8x=90x5
8x=450
<span>
x=56.25 feet </span>
Therefore, the approximate height of the building to the nearest foot would be 56.25 feet.
<span>
That makes sense, too, because the woman's shadow is taller than she is, but is less than double her height. </span>The building shadow is taller than the building, but it's less than double the height of the building.
I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.
Answer:
y=53x-7
Step-by-step explanation:
5x-3y=21
-3y=-5x+21
divide by 3
y=5/3x-7
Answer:
2/21 is the most logical answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Set them into slope-intercept forms of equations then set those equations equal to each other and solve for x and y. y = 34x - 5 and y = -14x+3. Set those equal to each other, solve for x to get x = 1/6. Sub in that x value to get y = 2/3. The point where they intersect is the solution of the system; in other words, where on both lines we have the exact same (x, y) value.
