X = Can/Bottle height, y = Shadow length
x = 13 cm, y = 7.5 cm
x = 2.5 cm, y = 14.2 cm
I'm assuming your question is asking for an equation to model this. Since there are only two data points the only equation that can be made is linear
y = mx + c
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) <- Let 14.2 be y2, and 2.5 be x2 (it is important)
m = (14.2 - 7.5)/(2.5 - 13)
m = 6.7/-10.5
m = -0.638
y = -0.638x + c
To find c we can sub any one of the two coordinates, 
i'm choosing (2.5,14.2)
14.2 = -0.638(2.5) + c
14.2 = -1.595 + c
14.2 + 1.595 = c
15.795 = c
So the final equation is y = -0.638x + 15.795

Quadrilateral ABCD is a rectangle. If AE = 36 and CE = 2x - 4, find x.<br> B<br> E<br> А.<br> D
krek1111 [17]

The value of the x is 20 if the quadrilateral ABCD is a rectangle and  AE = 36 and CE = 2x - 4 because the diagonal of the rectangle bisect each other.

<h3>What is the area of the rectangle?</h3>

It is defined as the space occupied by the rectangle, which is planner 2-dimensional geometry.

The formula for finding the area of a rectangle is given by:

Area of rectangle = length × width

We know that the diagonal of the rectangle bisect each other.

AE = CE

36 = 2x - 4

2x = 40

x = 20

Thus, the value of the x is 20 if the quadrilateral ABCD is a rectangle and  AE = 36 and CE = 2x - 4 because the diagonal of the rectangle bisect each other.

Masja [62]
Let the number of weeks to have same amount = x Then:-

1200 + 40x = 700 + 50x
1200 - 700 = 50x - 40x

10x =  500
x = 50  
answer is 50 weeks

Consider the fibonacci sequence below, which is the first term in the sequence to exceed 120?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

144

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence is:

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, 2584, 4181, 6765, 10946

so you can see the first term larger than 120 is the 144.
