the expression is 27a^3 or (3a)^3
You need to use a ratio of height (H) to shadow length (L) to solve the first problem. It's basically a use of similar triangles, with two perpendicular sides, and with the shadow making the same angle with the vertical.
6 ft = 72 ins, so that rH/L = 72/16 = 9/2 for the player.
So the bleachers are 9/2 x 6 ft = 27 ft.
For the second problem, 9 ft = 108 in, so that the ratio of the actual linear dimensions to the plan's linear dimensions are 9ft/(1/2in) = 2 x 108 = 216.
So the stage will have dimensions 216 times larger than 1.75" by 3".
That would be 31ft 6ins x 54ft.
Live long and prosper.
There is not enough information to answer the question. To answer it, you need to know how much gas is in her gas tank and how far she needs to travel.
I would say 5 meals. 7/8 =.875. .875/4=.218. .218+.875=1.09 so the dog would eat 1.09 lb ofdog foodafter 5 meals
