One afternoon, a student who is 5 feet 4 inches tall measured shadows to find the height of a telephone pole. The student's shadow was 5 feet long. At the same time, the shadow of the telephone pole was 18 feet 9 inches long. How tall is the telephone pole?





Please help

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

19.9875 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is given as:

Shadow of the student/Height of the student = Shadow of the telephone pole/Height of the telephone pole.

1 inch = 0.0833 feet

Shadow of the student = 5ft

Height of the student = 5 feet 4 inches

4 inches to feet

= 4 × 0.0833 feet

= 0.33 feet

Hence: Height of the student = 5 + 0.33 = 5.33 feet

Shadow of the telephone pole = 18 feet 9 inches long

9 inches to feet

= 9 × 0.0833 feet

= 0.75 feet

Hence: Shadow of the telephone pole = 18 + 0.75 = 18.75 feet

Height of the telephone pole= x

Therefore:

5/5.33 = 18.75/x

Cross Multiply

5x = 5.33 × 18.75

x = 5.33 × 18.75/5

x = 19.9875 feet

The height of the telephone pole = 19.9875 feet

Which statement correctly identifies the line of reflection?
A.The triangles are reflected across the X-axis
B.The triangles are reflected across the Y-axis
C.The triangles are reflected across the line Y=X
D.The triangles are reflected across the line Y=-X

Answers

Answer: C , triangles reflected across the line Y=X

Explanation: The line Y=X intersects through the origin and has a slope of positive 1, so if you imagine that line on the graph shown, you're able to see how the triangles are reflected across it.

Also, when the X and Y coordinates are "flipped" for each triangle, you can tell that it's reflected across Y=X. For example, the point at the right angle for the red triangle is (1,-1), while the corresponding point on the black triangle is at (-1,1), "flipping" the coordinates.

Answer:

b) [tex]f^-1(x)[/tex]= ∛(4x-24)

c)2

Step-by-step explanation:

these ones are inverse functions

change the f(x) for y and make x the subject

y= x³/4 +6

(y-6)x 4 = x³

∛(4y-24)= x

then put x back were y is

[tex]f^-1(x)[/tex]= ∛(4x-24)

and to do c just put in 8 where x is

∛(4(8)-24)= 2

Use the vertex of the function (h, k) and the x-intercepts . g(x) = 2 * (x + 3) ^ 2 - 6

x = 11 or x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - 7x - 44 = 0

-11 + 4 = -7, -11 × 4 = -44

(x -11)(x + 4) = 0 or (x + 4)(x - 11) = 0 Both are same way: O

When n is positive, 1^n will always be 1

but........ (-1)^n will not always be -1

This is because there are parenthesis around -1

So n is even, then it will be 1 not -1

For example, n = 4

You will do -1 * -1 * -1 * -1 which is 1 not -1

but if n = 3

You will do -1 * -1 * -1 which is -1

Therefore, the second statement is incorrect resulting in Keiko being wrong

Without calculating, predict whether the area of the rectangle will be greater or less than 25 square meters if the length is 5.25 meters.

Answers

Answer:

depends on the other side, so... maybe

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have a rectangle and you know one side is 5.25, then if the perpendicular side looks about the same length or longer, then the area of the rectangle is at least 25.

Imagine you have a rectangle with a known base of 5.25, then if the rectangle is at least as tall as it is wide, then the area is over 25.  If the rectangle is very close to a square then the area should be near 25, and if the rectangle is visually shorter than it is wide then the area is less than 25
