Answer:

372 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

(1 yd = 36 in., and 1 ft = 12 in.)

1 yard stick = 24 in

This means , height of 36 inches casts a shadow of 24 Inches

At the same time a telephone pole casts a shadow of 20 ft 8 in

1 ft = 12 in

Hence,

Convey 20ft to inches

1 ft = 12 in

20 ft = 20 × 12 inches

= 240 inches

Total shadow of the telephone pole = 240in + 8 in = 248 = 248 inches

Hence,

Height/Length of shadow = Height/Length of shadow

36/24= x /248

Cross Multiply

24 × x = 36× 248

x = 36 × 248/24

x = 372 inches

The height of the telephone pole, to the nearest inch is 372 inches

Answer:

x = 55

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of x

3x - 35 = 130 (vertically opposite angles are equal)

3x = 130 +35

3x = 165

x = 165/3

x = 55

Determine the value<br> of x in this polygon. (PLATO)
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

136

Step-by-step explanation:

No matter what the distribution, all of the interior angles of a convex hexagon will add up to 720 degrees. Therefore, if you subtract all of the known angles in this hexagon from 720, you will find x.

720-134-106-117-119-108=136 degrees. Hope this helps!

Mabel spends 4 hours editing a 3 minute video. she edits at a constant rate. how long does mabel spend to edit a 9 minute video?

she spends 4 hours on a 3 minute video
so there are 60 minutes in an hour
4 hours with 60 minutes- 4x60=240
so she spent 240 minutes on a 3 minute video
3 divided by 240
3/240= 0.0125
so her constant rate is 0.0125 minutes an hour
so divide 9 minutes by her constant rate
9/0.0125 = 720
so she spends 720 minutes on a 9 minute video.
divide 720 by 60 since there are 60 minutes in an hour
720/60 = 12
so she spends 12 hours on a 9minute video

Complete the ordered pair for the given equation. (_,-1);y=-3/5x-7
Fiesta28 [93]
Hi!

So for this problem, we're given the y-coordinate and we can plug that in for y in the equation. So let's do that

-1 = -3/5x - 7
6 = -3/5x
30 = -3x
-10 = x

The missing coordinate would be x, assuming that the equation was y = (-3/5)x - 7
