Answer:

21 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we would be using the proportion

Shadow /Height

From the question:.

Manny's shadow = 414 feet

Manny's Height = 512 feet

Height of the tree = ? = x

Shadow of the tree = 17 feet

Hence:

414/512 = 17/ x

Cross Multiply

414 × x = 512 × 17

x = 512 × 17/414

x = 21.024154589 feet

x ≈ Approximately = 21 feet

The height of the tree = 21 feet

Someone please help with this question :)!
Elodia [21]
I think a) would be the answer. I proceeded by elimination: the domaine of the function goes from 3 and continues to infinity, so that leaves with a) and b) as possible answers. Both have the same range and both of their functions reflect over the x axis, so we have to compare the two answer by looking at the position of the function in the graph. The function is in the first quadrant (top right corner), so the position of the function has to be at our right, which leads us to a).

(a+200)÷400=2 тендеу ​
Oksana_A [137]

Answer: a=600

Step-by-step explanation:

(a+200)/400=2

a+200=2×400=800 so

a+200=800

a=600 because 800-200=600

Hope this helps. Stay healthy and safe and have a blessed and wonderful day and I hope you had a good Easter!

What is the equation of the line that passes through the points (-4,1) and (4-1)
Nitella [24]

Answer:

y=-1/4x

Step-by-step explanation:

METHOD 1: The basic slope-intercept equation is <em>y=ax+b</em>. To achieve the slope with two points, this is the equation:

m = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

All you have to do is insert points (-4, 1) and (4, -1) into their corresponding locations.

m = \frac{(-1)-1}{4-(-4)}

With this equation, you will be able to find the slope. Then you can simply graph it to connect the two dots.

METHOD 2: Simply connect the two dots with a straight line (use a ruler or something with a straight edge.) Then count how many spaces up/down and left/right. If the line goes from top to bottom from left to right, it is a negative slope (hence, the -1/4.)
