Answer:

1249. 5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Pole length , Pl = 2 fts

Pole shadow, Ps = 20 in = (0.0833 * 20) = 1.666 ft

Tower length, Tl = 125 ft

Tower shadow, Ts = x

Pl / Ps = Tl/ Ts

2/ 1.666 = 125 / x

Cross multiply

2x = 125 * 1.666

2x = 208.25

x = 104.125 ft

x = 104.125 * 12 = 1249. 5 inches

What is the graph of linear inequality 2y&gt;x-2
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Please refer to the attached graph for the graph of linear inequality:

2y>x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Method to draw graph of inequality:

<u>1. First of all replace the inequality sign with equality.</u>

Now the equation is:

2y=x-2

Now, find point and plot them.

Let us put x = 0, we get y = -1. So one point is <em>(0, -1)</em>

Let us put y = 0, we get x = 2. So one point is <em>(2,0)</em>

Now, plot both the point and join with straight line on xy coordinate axis.

2. Now, try to find a random point and put in the inequality.

If the point satisfies the inequality shade the region moving from the line towards that point.

For example:

Taking a point (4, 2)

Putting in the inequality:

8 > 2-2 \\8>0

So, (4, 2) satisfies the inequality.

Now, shade the region moving from the line towards the point (4,2).

We get the shaded region as shown in the attached figure in the answer area.

How do I solve 9/5 = x/16
zhenek [66]

Answer:

Cross Multiply

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Multiply 16 by 9 and you get 144
2. Multiply 5 by x

This is called cross multiplying.

3. Set up the equation. 5x=144
144/5=28.8

x=28.8

You buy a 24 pack of 591mL bottles of water. How many Liters is that?
4vir4ik [10]
24 bottles x 591 mL/bottle = 14,184 mL

Since 1L = 1000 mL,

14,184 mL x 1L/1000mL = 14,184/1000 = 14.184L (14 whole liters)
