Answer:

28.8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportion in calculating this.

Let X= height of the shadow of 24- ft tree.

The proportion can be set up as

(15- ft tree) /( 18- ft shadow )=(24- ft tree) / X

15/18 = 24/X

Making X subject of the formula

15X = 18 × 24

X= (18×24)/15

X=28.8 ft

Hence, the shadow of the 24- ft tree is 28.8 feet

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

The horizontal component of the force is 48 N.

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle that the rope makes with with the horizontal is 15°, that means, the horizontal component of the force F_H is

cos(15^o)=\frac{F_H}{50N}

\boxed{ F_H=50N*cos(15^o)=48N}

Which of the following equations describes the graph shown above
andrey2020 [161]

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

this is in y=Mx+ b form. M stands for the slope and b stands for the y intercept, or where the line intersects with the y-axis.

Going left to right, the line slopes downwards, therefore it is a negative Slope. This narrows down your answer to either a or d. the slope is -1 because you can only ever write x by itself if it means 1x. In this case it is negative so it would look like this: -x

for the y-intercept, simply look at where the line passes through the y-axis. In this case, it is positive 2.

your finished equation would be: y=-x+2

i hope this is helpful
