Answer:

Building's actual height 32 meters

Building's shadow height 20 meters

Person's shadow height 1.2 meters

Person's actual height = ?

Find the person's actual height:

This is a proportion problem.

Actual height to shadow height

Building = Person

32 : 20 = x : 1.2

32 * 1.2 = 20 * x

38.4 = 20x

38.4/20 = 20x/20

1.92 = x

The person's actual height is 1.92 meters long.

32 : 20 = 1.92 : 1.2

32/20 = 1.60

1.92/1.2 = 1.60

I need help with #16 plzzzzzzzz<br> I’ll give brainliest
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

<h2>x = 6, y = 42</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal divides both opposite angles into two angles. If ABCD is a parallelogram, then opposite sides are parallel, so we have alternate exterior angles.

Alternate exterior angles are congruent.

Therefore we have the equations:

4x = 24 and y - 10 = 32

4x = 24     <em>divide both sides by 4</em>

4x/4 = 24/4

x = 6

y - 10 = 32             <em>add 10 to both sides</em>

y - 10 + 10 = 32 + 10

y = 42

What is the measure of an interior angle of a regular polygon iwth 15 sides
KiRa [710]
To find the measure of an interior angle of any regular polygon, we use the formula:

180 * (n-2)  / n, 

where n is the number of sides in the regular polygon.

Therefore, if there are 15 sides in the regular polygon, your answer would be 

180 * (15-2) / 15, 

or when simplified,

180 * 13 / 15

2340 / 15

156 degrees.

Thus, the measure of an interior angle of a regular polygon with 15 sides is 156 degrees.

Jill and Erika made 4 gallons of lemonade for their lemonade stand. How many quarts did they make if then charge $2:00 per quart
notka56 [123]

Answer:

Number of quarts=16

Money earned=$32

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

  • 4 Gallons of lemonade is prepared
  • They charge $2 for a quart

1 Gallon= 4 Quarts

Therefore Number of quarts

= \text{number of gallons} \times 4\\= 4 \times 4\\=16

Therefore Number of quarts of lemonade prepared by them = 16 quarts

As they charge $2 for each quart

⇒

Total money made if they sell it all

=\text{number of quarts} \times 2\\= 16 \times 2\\=32

Therefore, if they are to sell all the lemonade that they prepared

They would earn=$32
