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.

How many 4-letter passords can be made using the letters A thought Z if...
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

26^4 if repetition is allowed, 26 \times25\times24\times23 if repetition is not allowed.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first case, we have a choice of 26 letters <em>each step of the way. </em>For each of the 26 letters we can pick for the first slot, we can pick 26 for the second, and for each of <em>those</em> 26, we can pick between 26 again for our third slot, and well, you get the idea. Each step, we're multiplying the number of possible passwords by 26, so for a four-letter password, that comes out to 26 × 26 × 26 × 26 = 26^4 possible passwords.

If repetition is <em>not </em>allowed, we're slowly going to deplete our supply of letters. We still get 26 to choose from for the first letter, but once we've picked it, we only have 25 for the second. Once we pick the second, we only have 24 for the third, and so on for the fourth. This gives us instead a pretty generous choice of 26 × 25 × 24 × 23 passwords.
