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.

agasfer [191]

Answer:

r = 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

\dfrac{3}{4}r=\dfrac{1}{8}\\\\\\

Multiply both sides by 4

4*\dfrac{3}{4}r=4*\dfrac{1}{8}\\\\3r = \dfrac{1}{2}

Divide both sides by 3

\dfrac{3}{3}r=\dfrac{1}{2*3}\\\\r = \dfrac{1}{6}

Identify which line from the graph the following right triangles could lie on.
qaws [65]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of line A = \frac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}}

                         = \frac{9}{3}

                         = 3

Slope of line B = \frac{9}{6}

                         = \frac{3}{2}

Slope of line C = \frac{6}{8}

                         = \frac{3}{4}

5). Slope of the hypotenuse of the right triangle = \frac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}}

                                                                                = \frac{90}{120}

                                                                                = \frac{3}{4}

Since slopes of line C and the hypotenuse are same, right triangle may lie on line C.

6). Slope of the hypotenuse = \frac{30}{10}

                                              = 3

Therefore, this triangle may lie on the line A.

7). Slope of hypotenuse = \frac{18}{24}

                                        = \frac{3}{4}

Given triangle may lie on the line C.

8). Slope of hypotenuse = \frac{21}{14}

                                        = \frac{3}{2}

Given triangle may lie on the line B.

9). Slope of hypotenuse = \frac{36}{24}

                                        = \frac{3}{2}

Given triangle may lie on the line B.

10). Slope of hypotenuse = \frac{48}{16}

                                          = 3

Given triangle may lie on the line A.

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

1:50 PM

Step-by-step explanation:

Left school at 10:38 AM,

took them 51 minutes,

38+51=89,

89-60=29,

so when they drove to the museum, it was 11:29 AM.

From here, they stayed at the museum for 1 hour and 26 minutes,

so they stayed at the museum until 12:55 AM since 29+26=55.

Now, it took them 55 minutes to drive back to the school,

so 12:55 plus another 55 minutes,

it's going to be 1:50 PM when Dale's class got back to school.
