Answer:

60 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solved by setting up a proportion.

height of the pole/length of the pole's shadow = height of the mailbox/length of the mailbox's shadow

height of the pole = x

plugging in values

x/70 = 3/3.5   To solve, cross multiply

(3.5)(x) = (70)(3)  Simplify

3.5x = 210  Divide both sides by 3.5

3.5x/3.5 = 210/3.5

x = 60 ft is the height of the pole

Identify Slope and Y intercept for the equation X=4 M=B=
krek1111 [17]
Undefined and Undefined

Since the equation is x = 4, there is no y-intercept as x will never equal 0.

Additionally, since the equation is x = 4, there is no change in x value and as such the slope can not be determined.

Which value of x will make the triangles similar by the SSS similarity theorem
masha68 [24]

Answer:

x = 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the triangles to be similar corresponding sides must be in the same ratio.

So 50/ 75 = x / 45

75x = 50*45

x = 50* 45/75

= 2 * 45 / 3

= 30.   (answer).

Help Me!48 divided by 3/8?
expeople1 [14]
Work out 3/8 of 48.

First of all divide 48 by the denominator:

48 ÷ 8 = 6 (this gives 1/8 of 48)

Now multiply this answer by the numerator:

6 × 3 = 18 (this gives 3/8 of 48)

How much it will take for a bag to travel 5 meters across the floor of it is traveling at 1 m/s
tester [92]
Time = \frac{distance}{speed}

The distance the bag will travel is 5 meters, and the speed it is traveling at is 1 m/s. Plug these into the formula for time.

\frac{5 m}{1 m/s} = 5 s
5/1 = 5 and the m (meters) cancel out, so you are left with s, seconds.

It will take the bag 5 seconds to travel across the floor.
