Answer: The height of the building is 50.75 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio between the height of the object and the casted shadow must be equal for all the objects, as the angle at which the source if light impacts them is the same.
For the person, we know that it is 5.8ft tall, and the shadow is 3.2ft long.
The ratio will be: 5.8ft/3.2ft = 1.8125
Now, if H is the height of the building, and the shadow that the building casts is 28ft, we must have:
H/28ft = 1.8125
Now we can solve this for H.
H = 1.8125*28ft = 50.75 ft
Then the height of the building is 50.75 feet.
Table C since it is decreasing at a constant rate of 5.
55 - 5 = 50
50 - 5 = 45
45 - 5 = 40
Answer:
16 apples, 20 pears
Step-by-step explanation:
36+4=40
So 40/2= 20 or an even amount of both apples and pears
20-4= 16 ~Original amount of apples
36-16=20 ~Amount of pears
Answer: y=-3x+29
Step-by-step explanation:
First put in y-intercept form to find the slope
Slope of the 1st equation is 1/3- the slope of the line perpendicular is the opposite reciprocal, so in the case it is -3
Use the point and the new slope to write the new equation in point slope format
