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

Answers

Answer 1

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

Write an expression for the total number of fish and plants in all the sets using the expression you found in part A.

Answers

The expression for the total number of fish and plants in all the sets is 24x + 18y.

The given parameters:

Number of fish, = 24Number of plants, = 18

Let the total number of fish and plants = T

Let the total number of fish in all the sets = 24x

Let the total number of plants in all the sets = 18y

The expression for the total number of fish and plants in all the sets is calculated as follows;

T = 24x + 18y

Thus, the expression for the total number of fish and plants in all the sets is 24x + 18y.

The complete question is below:

Insert images of the plant and the fish in the space provided to arrange the 24 fish and the 18 plants into sets so that each set has the same number of fish and the same number of plants and none are left over. (In each set, the number of plants does not have to be equal to the number of fish.) Write an expression for the total number of fish and plants in each set

What is the volume of the container

Answers

Answer:

1468 in

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Find volume of entire figure

10*10*15=1500

2) Find volume of small piece that is cut out

2*4*4=32

3) Subtract smaller number from bigger number

1500-32=1468

Answer:

1,468 [tex]in^{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume = length * base * height

Volume = 10 * 10 *15

10 * 10 *15 = 1500

To get the object with a portion taken off, you would find the volume of the chunk taken off and subtract it from the whole object.

4 * 4 * 2 =32

1500-32 = 1468 in^3

Question 16:

[tex]\alpha[/tex] and [tex]\beta[/tex] are the roots of the equation.

That means [tex](x-\alpha )(x-\beta ) = 2x^{2} -6x+5 = 0\\[/tex]

[tex](x-\alpha )(x-\beta ) = 2x^{2} -6x+5 = 0[/tex]

          [tex]2x^{2} -6x+5 = 0\\x^{2} -3x+\frac{5}{2} =0[/tex]

          [tex](x-\alpha )(x-\beta ) =x^{2} - (\alpha +\beta )x +\alpha \beta[/tex]

So,

[tex]x^{2} - (\alpha +\beta )x +\alpha \beta = x^{2} -3x+\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

Compare coefficient

[tex]\alpha +\beta = 3\\\alpha \beta = \frac{5}{2}[/tex]

Consider [tex]\frac{\beta }{\alpha } + \frac{\alpha }{\beta }[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\beta }{\alpha } + \frac{\alpha }{\beta } =\frac{ \alpha ^{2} +\beta ^{2}}{\alpha \beta }[/tex]

Sal earns $480 per week. Lidia earns $300 per week. Are their salaries proportional if Sal works 40 hours per week and Lidia works 25 hours per week? True or false?

Answers

Answer:

not proportional

Step-by-step explanation:

because if you multiply 480×40=19200 and 300×25=7500

it is not the same

The earnings of Sal and Lidia will be equal to each other. So, yes their salaries are proportional.

What are ratio and proportion?

A ratio is a group of sequentially ordered numbers a and b expressed as a/b, where b is never equal to zero. When two objects are equal, a statement is said to be proportional.

Sal acquires $480 each week. Lidia acquires $300 each week. On the off chance that Sal works 40 hours out of every week and Lidia works 25 hours out of each week.

The earnings of Sal in each hour will be given as,

⇒ $480 / 40

⇒ $12 each hour

The earnings of Lidia in each hour will be given as,

⇒ $300/ 25

⇒ $12 each hour

The income of Sal and Lidia will be equivalent to one another. Along these lines, yes their compensations are corresponding.

The probability that a randomly selected girl does not have brown hair is 34.54%.

Given that in a certain school, 45% of the students are boys, and 80% of the boys have brown hair while 50% of those with brown hair are girls, to determine what is the probability that a randomly selected girl does NOT have brown hair, the following calculation must be performed:

x is 5.67

So 1 pound of almonds cost $5.67

Answer:

Jellybeans are $2.25 per pound

Almonds are $1.25 per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = jelly beans Let y = almonds

Equation 1

5x + 3y = 15

Equation 2

2x + 6y = 12

Multiply Equation 1 by negative 2 to give

-10x - 6y = -30

Add this to Equation 2 to eliminate y

-10x  - 6y = -30       2x + 6y = 12

The y is eliminated leaving

-8x = -18

Divide both sides by negative 8 to give

x = 2.25

Substitute this value back into Equation 2 to solve for y

2x + 6y = 12    2(2.25) + 6y =12 .   4.50 + 6y = 12

Subtract 4.50 from both sides of the equation to give

6y = 7.50

Divide both sides by 6 to solve for y

y = 7.50/6

y= 1.25

What is arithmetic sequence ?

An ordered group of numbers with a shared difference between each succeeding word is known as an arithmetic sequence.

The given sequence of numbers is,

1, 5, 9, 13, 17, .....

The first term of the given sequence a₁ =1,

From the given sequence, the common difference pair of two consecutive terms d = 4,

Let nth term of the sequence aₙ= 95,

By arithmetic sequence formula,

aₙ = a₁ + (n-1).d

Substitute the value of aₙ and d,

95 = 1 + (n-1).4

94 = (n-1). 4

(n-1) = 23.5

n = 24.5

The value of n can't be decimal, so 95 can't be a term of the given sequence.

From the first equation:

3x + 3y = 72

Subtracting:

3x - 3x + 5y - 3y = 100 -72

2y = 28

so y = 14

x + 14 = 24 so x = 10.

associative property.
Describe the associative property
in words.
Determine if Jacob is correct. Justify
your answer.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the associative property means that when you are adding OR multiplying you can group the numbers however you want

Jacob is wrong because (12 + 31) x 5 = 215 and 12 + 31 x 5 = 167

The associative property is when an equation can be rearranged without changing the answer.
Jacob is incorrect.
(12+31)x5=215
Because of PEMDAS, parenthesis are the first thing you have to solve for. 12+31=43. 43x5=215.
12+31x5=167
You would have to do 31x5 first because of PEMDAS, multiplication comes before addition. 31x5=155. 12+155=167.
