Answer:
8 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
First, draw a picture. The pole is 22 feet tall. Katherine is 5.5 feet tall. She is 24 feet from the pole. The light from the top of the pole to the tip of her shadow forms two similar right triangles. The length of her shadow is x.
Now use similar triangles to write a proportion:
22 / (24 + x) = 5.5 / x
Cross multiply:
22x = 5.5 (24 + x)
Distribute:
22x = 132 + 5.5x
Combine like terms:
16.5x = 132
Divide:
x = 8
The shadow is 8 feet long.
Answer:
1. City A: 150 violent crimes per 100,000 residents.
City B: 161 violent crimes per 100,000 residents.
2. City A
Step-by-step explanation:
City A:
Population = 123,000
Violent crimes = 185
Violent crimes per 100,000 people:

City B:
Population = 84,000
Violent crimes = 135
Violent crimes per 100,000 people:

1. City A: 150 violent crimes per 100,000 residents.
City B: 161 violent crimes per 100,000 residents.
2. Even though it has a bigger number of crimes, City A has the lowest crime rate since its population is larger.
X=1/3
Distribute 8 through the parentheses
8-40x+5=-2+5x
Add the numbers
13-40x+5=-2+5x
Answer: x=1/3
