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

A survey of a group’s viewing habits over the last year revealed the following
Tom [10]

Answer:

0.52

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the percentage of the group in which none of the three sports watched is shown below:

= gymnastic percentage + baseball percentage + soccer percentage - gymnastic & baseball percentage - baseball & soccer percentage - gymnastic & soccer percentage + three sports percentage

= 0.28 + 0.29 + 0.19 - 0.14 - 0.12 - 0.18 + 0.08

= 0.48

Now the percentage is

= 1 - 0.48

= 0.52

Volume of Spheres
Oliga [24]
It’s simple. The volume of a sphere is V=4/3πr^3.. so you will convert the mm to m okay?? 10mm=1cm .. so do your conversion from here then when you get the radius then you will substitute it into the volume where r is the radius.. so for the first one l changed mm to cm so.. radius is 4cm then l substitute it into the formula so l got 270 after rounding it to the nearest tenth.. pi=22/7 bear in mind. So do the same for the other one
