6) A tree casts a shadow 60 feet long. At the same time, a nearby 8-foot post casts a 12- foot shadow. How tall is the tree?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  40 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The tree's shadow is 60/12 = 5 times the length of the shadow of the post. So, we figure the tree is 5 times the height of the post:

  5(8 ft) = 40 ft . . . height of tree

__

You may want to write a proportion:

  tree height/tree shadow = post height/post shadow

  t / 60 = 8 / 12

  t = 60(8/12) = 40 . . . . multiply by 60

Shandra buys 14 tickets. Let a be the number of adults going to the movies. Write
an algebraic expression to represent the total price Shandra pays.

Answers

Answer:

a + c = 14

14(Pa+Pc) = 10a + 6c

224 = 10a + 6c

Step-by-step explanation:

Price of Children's tickets = $6

Price of Adult's tickets = $10

Shandra buys 14 tickets

Let

Number of adults going to the movie = a

Number of children going to the movie = c

Total price shandra pays = PaQa + PcQc

Where,

Pa = price of adult's tickets

Qa = Quantity of adult's tickets

Pc = Price of children's tickets

Qc = Quantity of children's tickets

Total price = 14(Pa+Pc), that is

a + c = 14

14(Pa+Pc) = 10a + 6c

14(10 + 6) = 10a + 6c

140 + 84 = 10a + 6c

224 = 10a + 6c

What is the base of the triangle? A=36mm(2) H= 6mm B=?

Answers

Answer:

Area formula=b*h÷2

b=a÷h*2

b=12

Step-by-step explanation:

So if you multiply the base and height to find a triangle, you'd get the area of a rectangle instead so if you divide by 2, you'd get the area of a triangle

To find the base, you'd reverse the process. You'd divide the area by the height and multiply by 2.

36÷6=6

6*2=12

Answers

Answer:

Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.

x=16

Step-by-step explanation:

its C

Answer:

x=16

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all we want to distribute 0.5 on 5x and -8

so we are going to divide by 2

1.5x + 12 = 2.5x -4

now we want to put the variables on one side and the numbers on the other side of the equal sign

and to

1.5x +12 = 2.5x -4

        -12             -12

1.5x = 2.5x - 16

now we want to move the variable that is on the right to the left side

1.5x = 2.5x - 16

-2.5x  -2.5x

-x = -16

change the signs and the answer is

x=16

EXTRA STEP

you have to make sure that your answer is correct so just plug in x and the answers on both sides of the equation must be equal

What would be the actual length, if the length of the model is 25 ft and the scale factor is less
than one?
20 ft, 25 ft, Or 30 ft

Answers

Answer:

20ft

Explanation:

You multiply the model length by the scale factor to find the actual length. If the scale factor is less than zero, then the actual size will be smaller than the model. Therefore, your answer would be 20ft.

Specifically, the scale factor is .8 if the actual size is 20ft, 1 if the actual size is 25ft, and 1.2 if the actual size is 30ft.

The actual length of the model will be 30 feet. Then the correct option is C.

What is dilation?

Dilation is the process of increasing the size of an item without affecting its form. Depending on the scale factor, the object's size can be raised or lowered. There is no effect of dilation on the angle.

The length of the model is 25 feet. And the scale factor is less than one.

We know that if the scale factor is from zero to one, then the size of the actual length increases.

If the scale factor is greater than zero, then the size of the actual length decrease.

And if the scale factor is one, then the size does not change.

The size of the actual length will be greater than 25 feet.

The actual length of the model will be 30 feet. Then the correct option is C.

6x - 2 ≥ 4x - 6 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

2x - 2 ≥ - 6 ( add 2 to both sides )

x ≥ - 2

The only value in the list greater than - 2 is - 1

x = - 1 is in the solution set

What is the 50th term of Arithmetic sequence 9,2,-5

Answers

Answer:

- 334

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a common difference between consecutive terms in the given sequence, that is

d = 2 - 9 = - 5 - 2 = - 7

This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with n th term

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 9 and d = - 7 , thus

[tex]a_{50}[/tex] = 9 + (49 × - 7) = 9 - 343 = - 334
