The height of the top of the mountain is 50.67 feet

<h3>The mirror</h3>

Jackson placing the mirror in front of him will result in relations that have equivalent ratios.

<h3>Equivalent ratios</h3>

So, the equivalent ratios are represented as:

5\ ft : 40 \ ft= 6'4" : x

Where x represents the height of the mountain

Cancel out the common units

5 : 40= 6'4" : x

Express as fractions

\frac{5 }{ 40}= \frac{6'4" }{ x}

Make x the subject

x = 6'4" \times \frac{40}{5}

x = 6'4" \times 8

Multiply

x = 48'\ 32"

Convert the unit to feet

x = 48' + \frac{32}{12}'

x = 48' + 2.67'

x = 50.67'

Hence, the height of the top of the mountain is 50.67 feet

Are line segments infinitely long?
butalik [34]
No,

A line is considered a "line segment" when a line connects to 2 points.

If a line was infinite length, it would never end up ending at one point.

Hope this was clear for you

I need help again. once again due TM helppp

Since the object is a cube, times 42 three times by itself. You have to do this because it is length x width x height. 42 x 42 x 42. The answer you're looking for is 74,088 cubic inches because it is three-dimensional.

After you complete your survey of students reported heights at your school, you discover that your sample is biased. Exactly 10%
Readme [11.4K]
What we can say with a good deal of certainty is that our sample is biased towards the higher spectrum and that the real value of the mean for our population is lower than the obtained value of our sample. If this is true, we should expect for the standard deviation to be higher than in the population.
