Ruby stands at 5 feet tall her shadow is 6 feet long how far is it form the top of her head to the end of the shadow

Mathematics
1 answer:
alisha [4.7K]2 years ago
7 0

Answer: 7.81 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

This scenario forms a right-angled triangle where Ruby's height of 5 feet is the height of the triangle. Her 6 feet long shadow is the length of the triangle and the distance from the top of her head to the end of the shadow is the hypotenuse.

This can therefore be solved by the Pythagorean formula:

c² = a² + b²

where ;

c = hypotenuse

a = height

b = length

c² = 5² + 6²

c² = 25 + 36

c² = 61

c = √61

c = 7.81 feet

Complete the mixed number equation that is represented by the area model
lubasha [3.4K]

From the given data, it is clear that the first area model represents the fraction \frac{1}{2} .

From the second area model,

Total number of regions = 6

Number of shaded regions = 2

The fraction represented by the model = \frac{2}{6}= \frac{1}{3} .

Let's complete the expression.

\frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{3} )=\frac{1}{6}

Work must be shown for this problem! The figure shown below is a rectangle. Make sure to solve for y and DC. Place both answers
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

y=16

DC=276

Step-by-step explanation:

Since in a rectangle, the two opposite sides are always congruent (equal lengths), this means that 17y+4 is equal to the value of 11y+100.

So, solve for y.

17y+4=11y+100

-11y      -11y

6y+4=100

    -4     -4

<u>6y</u>=<u>96</u>

6      6

y=16

And then to find DC, you just need to plug in the y value.

11(16)+100=DC

176+100=DC

276=DC
