This item can be answered by the concept of ratio and proportion. The ratio of the sculpture's height and shadow should be proportional or equal to that of the person. Mathematically,
                         6 ft / 2 ft = h / 4 ft
The value of h in the equation is 12 ft.

The Frostburg-Truth bus travels on a straight road from Frostburg Mall to Sojourner Truth Park. The mall is 3 miles west and 2 m
Verizon [17]
To start, write your locations as points, with north and south being positive and negative y respectively and east and west being positive and negative x respectively. Doing this gives us the mall at (-3,-2) and the park at (4,5). Now, we use our distance formula ( \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2 } ) to solve for the unknown distance. Plugging in with the park values as our second values and our mall values as our first values (as well as with our unknown distance as d), we get d= \sqrt{(4-(-3))^2+(5-(-2))^2} = \sqrt{(7)^2+(7)^2} = \sqrt{49+49} = \sqrt{98}. This square root can be rounded to 9.9 miles.

What percent of 50 is 9?
d1i1m1o1n [39]
9 is 18% of 50. So, 50 percent also written as 50% means 50 out of 100 parts. Since there are exactly two 50s in 100, fifty percent is the same number as one half. 50 percent=0.5 in but as a fraction, its 1/2.

What are the degree and leading coefficient of the polynomial of 12u3 -8 + 23u
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Degree: 3

Leading Coefficient: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the highest power to determine the degree, in this case it's 3. Then identify the term with the highest power (12u^3) to find the leading coefficient.

So, because 3 is the largest and only power in this equation, it is the degree. 12u^3 is the leading term (term containing the highest degree) and 12 is the coefficient attatched to the term. Hope that helped!
