Amelia is 5 feet tall and casts a 4-foot shadow. A tree next to her casts a 12-foot shadow. The two triangles formed are similar

because the angle to the sun is the same. Choose two equations that can be used to find the height, h, of the tree.

Answer:

The height of the tree is  

18.67

feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

The pole and the tree both cast shadows. The triangles which form are similar triangles, because the sun is shining from the same angle in the sky.

You can write this as a direct proportion. (height : shadow)

It takes layla 2/5 hour to swim 1/2 mile what is the unit rate of miles that layla can swim per hour
Mazyrski [523]

Good Morning!


Distance = rate x time


1/2 mile = R x 2/5 hour


1/2=2/5R


/2/5 /2/5


R=1/2 x 5/2


R=1 1/4


She can swim 1 1/4 per hour.


I hope this helps! :)

A projectile is fired into the air with an initial vertical velocity of 160 ft/sec from ground level. How many seconds later doe
djverab [1.8K]

The maximum height of the projectile is the maximum point that can be gotten from the projectile equation

The projectile reaches the maximum height after 5 seconds

The function is given as:

\mathbf{h(t) = -16t^2 + 160t}

Differentiate the function with respect to t

\mathbf{h'(t) = -32t + 160}

Set to 0

\mathbf{h'(t) = -32t + 160 = 0}

So, we have:

\mathbf{-32t + 160 = 0}

Collect like terms

\mathbf{-32t =- 160 + 0}

\mathbf{-32t =- 160}

Solve for t

\mathbf{t = \frac{- 160}{-32}}

\mathbf{t = 5}

Hence, the projectile reaches the maximum after 5 seconds

The graph of F(x), shown below, resembles the graph of G(x) x2, but it has
Bingel [31]

Correct answer is: F(x)=-x^2-3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a function:

The graph of is also shown in the given question figure.

It is a parabola with vertex at (0,0).

Sign of is positive, that is why the parabola opens up.

General equation of parabola is given as:

Here, in G(x), a = 1

Vertex (h,k) is (0,0).

As seen from the question figure,

The graph of F(x) opens down that is why it will have:

Sign of as negative. i.e.

And vertex is at (0,-3)

Putting the values of a and vertex coordinates,

Hence, the equation of parabola will become:
