Answer:
38 2/3 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
In shadow problems, the usual assumption is that object height and shadow length are proportional.
height/length = b/16 = 5.8/2.4 . . . . . for building height b
b = 16(5.8/2.4) = 38 2/3
The building is 38 2/3 feet tall.
The canl's water level is now 10.875 below sea level
because 2 1/4 or 2.25 +7=9.25 and 13/8 or 1.625+9.25=10.875
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 3y -15
x = -3
Area=length times width
area=28
length=7
28=7 times width
divide both sides by 7
4=width
the width is 4 miles
and perimiter is 22mi
Answer:
x = 1\2 and y = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
8x + 3y = 4 * 5\3
14x - 5y = 7 * 1
40\3x + 5y = 20\3 -------- 1
14x - 5y = 7 ----------------- 2
add equation 1 and 2
82\3x = 41\3
x = <u>4</u><u>1</u><u> </u> <u>3</u>
3 * 82
x = 1\2
subtitute 1\2 for x in equation 2
14\2 - 5y = 7
7 - 5y = 7
5y = 7 - 7
y = 0\5
y = 0
thus x = 1\2 and y = 0
