I think it's 64. Not positive, but pretty sure it is.
The substitution property of equality, one of the eight properties of equality, states that if x = y, then x can be substituted in for y in any equation, and y can be substituted for x in any equation.
Answer:
200 would be 1 percent of 2000
Step-by-step explanation:
I attached the document with the answers and work with the formulas. Since the formulas and fractions don't work very well with this site (especially the pi symbol, they should fix that).

The answer is 48 feet (D).
Explanation:
To solve this, you must think of the monument and its shadow and Adam and his shadow as a triangle, the person/object being the vertical leg, the shadows being the horizontal leg, and a line connecting them being the hypotenuse. Also, we can assume that these triangles are similar. First, we can set the scale to be 40/5 (the two shadows set a scale because the triangles are similar). Then, we can put x/6 (the actual things are similar, and the scale was established to be building/measurement). Next, we can set the two fractions equal to each other (40/5 = x/6) and solve. We can cross multiply to get 5x = 40 * 6. That goes to 5x = 240. Finally, we can divide by five on each side to get x = 48 feet (D).
