Set up and solve an equation of ratios. Comparing shadow lengths, we get 100/6; comparing heights, we get x/8. Set these two ratios equal to one another and solve the resulting equation for x:
100 x
----- = ------ Then 6x=800, and x = 800 feet^2 over 6 feet. Your answer
6 8
must have the unit of measurement "ft."
Answer:
A.\ \ r(d)=-100(d-25)^2+122,500
Hope this helps!
