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

A student is 5 feet, 2 inches tall. What is her height in meters?
Maurinko [17]
We know that 1 feet is 0.3m and that 1 inch = 0.0254 m
To get the result we have to multiply 5 feet by 0.3 and 2 inches by 0.0254 and add it.
5*0.3=1.5
2*0.0254=0.0508
Now adding
1.5+0.058=1.55m - its the answer

I’ve gotten this answer wrong twice already
sattari [20]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard vertex form of a quadratic (which is what your graphs are) is

y=(x-h)^2+k where h and  are the coordinates of the vertex. The vertex is really all we need to fill in this equation. Looking at the blue graph, the vertex is located at (-4, 1), so h = -4 and k = 1. Filling in the equation:

y=(x-(-4))^2+1 which simplifies down to

y=(x+4)^2+1. It's that simple.I think that's choice C (I'm not sure; it's very tiny!)
