Answer: <u><em>The building is 35 meters tall.</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>420 </em><u><em>divided by </em></u><em>24 is 17.5   </em>

<em>17.5 </em><u><em>x </em></u><em>2 is 35 </em>

<em>(im multiplying by two because it says that a person who is 2 meters tall casts a shadow that is 24 meters long. ***)</em>

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{5}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-2})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-5}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-5}-\stackrel{y1}{(-2)}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{0}-\underset{x_1}{5}}}\implies \cfrac{-5+2}{-5}\implies \cfrac{-3}{-5}\implies \cfrac{3}{5}

What is the maximum possible value of 18.6?
yan [13]
The minimum value is 18.55 and the maximum value is 18.64. When rounding to one decimal place, you must look at the number two places after the decimal. If this is bigger than 5 round up and lower than 4 round down.
