HELP!! joels apartment building is 42 ft tall and casts a shadow of 20ft. If Joel is 6 ft tall, how long is his shadow

Mathematics

zhenek [66]2 years ago
5 0

Step-by-step explanation:

an object and its shadow create a right-angled triangle.

2 objects and their shadows create 2 similar right-angled triangles.

that means the angles are the same, and the side lengths of one triangle all correlate with the corresponding side lengths of the other triangle via the same factor.

so,

42 × f = 6

f = 6/42 = 1/7

the length of Joel's shadow is then

20 × f = 20 × 1/7 = 2.857142857... ft

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 2y = 3x - 1?
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The slope of the line is -\frac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

For any line y=mx+b, a line that is perpendicular to it is y_\perp =-\frac{1}{m} x+b.

Therefore the slope of the perpendicular line is -\frac{1}{m}.

For our case y=\frac{3}{2}x-\frac{1}{2} therefore the slope of the prependicular is the reciprocal of \frac{3}{2} multiplied by -1.

\therefore\:slope=-\frac{2}{3}.
