Answer:

5' 6" = 66 inches

6 feet = 72 inches

shadow to actual height ratio = 72 / 66 = 1.0909...

If the tree casts a 20 foot shadow then its height equals

20 / 1.09090909 = 18.33 feet = 18 feet 4 inches

Solve the simultaneous equation x+y/4=1/2 and x-3y/3=2
Feliz [49]

Answer:

x+y/4 = 1/2

x-3y/3 = 2

move variables to one side:

multiply the first equation by 4 to get: x+y =2

and the second equation by 3 to get: x-3y =6

then subtract the equations to cancel out x:

 x+y = 2

- x-3y = 6

then u get

y--3y = 2-6

4y = -4

y=-1

substitute to solve for x:

x-1 / 4 =1/2

x-1 = 2

x=3

check:

3+-1

2/4= 1/2

correct!!!

The Quadrilateral ABCD with coordinates (3, 1), (4, 4), (7, 5), (6, 2) is a rhombus because its length and width are both square root of 10 units and adjacent sides are not perpendicular. This can be seen by plotting the points you can either plot it or by using programs.

I hope this helps, God bless, and have a great day!

PLZ HELP ASAP ON 3 A B AND C
viktelen [127]
A: From the graph, car B was traveling faster.

Because the line of car B is more steep than the line of car A.

B:
The lines cross at (2,80), this means that the two cars were traveling at the same distance (80 miles) at the same time (2 hours).

C:
Since the line passes through the points (0,0) and (2,80)

So the unit rate or slope is 40 mph.

The distance which car A traveled in the first four hours = 4x40= 160 mph
