Hi Melanie!

This problem involves proportion.

Let x be the unknown, which is the height of the building.

height of pole = height of the building

height of the shadow height of the shadow

3.3 m = x

1.78 m 49. 75 m

Solve for x.

(3.3 m) (49.75 m) = x

1.78 m

92.2331460674 = x

Rounded to the nearest meter, the building is 92 meters high.

Hope that helps.

The fraction bars are not coming out (Underline), I don't know why... but yeah, that is the answer.

Which best describes the graph of g(x) = 1/9 sq x<br> PICTURE DOWN BELOW
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

A) The graph of g(x) is shrunk vertically by a factor of 1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

The given graph g(x) = 1/9√x

f(x) = √x

The altitude of g(x) = 1/9

The altitude of f(X) = 1

When comparing the graph of g(x) with f(x), the graph of g(x) shrunk by 1/9 because of the altitude.

Here with I have attached the graph.

Therefore, answer: A) The graph of g(x) is shrunk vertically by a factor of 1/9

Thank you.
