A 12 foot fence on the property line casts a 25 foot shadow on the shortest day of the year, and the north side of the house is set back 60 feet from the property line.
Using similar triangles formed by the fence, and the house, the top of which the property line passes, the height of the house can be determined.
The height of the house is 28.8 feet.Reasons:
The given parameters are;
Height of the fence = 12 foot
Length of the shadow cast by the fence = 25 foot
Distance of the house from the property line = 60 feet
The maximum allowable height for the house.
Solution:
Using similar triangles, we have;
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{Height \ of \, fence}{Length \ of \ fence \ shadow} = \mathbf{\frac{Height \ of \, house}{Distance \ of \ house\ from \ property \ line}}[/tex]
Which gives;
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{12}{25} = \mathbf{\frac{Height \ of \, house}{60}}[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle Height \ of \ house = \frac{12}{25} \times 60 = 28.8[/tex]
The height of the house = 28.8 feet

Answer:
Diagram number 3 is not a function.
Step-by-step explanation:
It isn't a function because C goes to 2 different numbers.
Explanation:
For choice (3), the input C maps to more than one output (The values 1 and 3 at the same time). A function must have each input map to one and only one output. So this is why relation (3) is not a function.
The other answer choices (1), (2) and (4) have each input point to exactly one output. So these are functions that can be ruled out.

Step-by-step explanation:
since t and s intersect, we have 2/4 = 3/y, cross multiply to get 2y=12 so y=6
we also have 2/x=3/5 because a and b are parallel, cross multiply to get 3x=10, so x=10/3

If a cheetah can travel 120 meters in just 4 seconds, then how many meter can it travel in 25 seconds?
Answer:
750 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
120 meters/4 seconds = 30 meters per second
30 meters per second * 25 seconds = 750 meters
(you could calculate 3 * 25 first to get 75 and then add the zero at the end. It's the faster way.)
Answer:
x = 750 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Write and solve a equation of ratios:
120 m 4 sec
------------- = -------------
x 25 sec
Inverting this equation yields
x 25 sec
-------------- = -------------
120 m 4 sec
Cross-multiplication yields (4 sec)x = (120 m)(25 sec). This yields:
3000 m-sec
x = -------------------- = 750 meters
4 sec
Note that the same result can be obtained by multiplying (120 m) by (25/4).
The sum of the interior angles in a polygon is 15,480°. Calculate the number of sides in the regular polygon.
Answer:
88 sides
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is
sum = 180° (n - 2) ← n is the number of sides, then
180° (n - 2) = 15480° ( divide both sides by 180° )
n - 2 = 86 ( add 2 to both sides )
n = 88

Answer:
m = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
0 = 12 + 2 ( m - 8 )
→ Expand the brackets
0 = 12 + 2m - 16
→ Add 16 to both sides
16 = 12 + 2m
→ Minus 12 from both sides
4 = 2m
→ Divide both sides by 2

Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
Total=70.
Last week she posted= 2/5 of 70= She posted 28 last week
So, 42 left
then, she posted 4/7 of remaining (42)
4/7 of 42 is 24
42-24= 18
She still needs to post 18 flyers
HOPE THIS HELPS!
Answer:
OK, so she started with 70 fliers.
Last week, she posted 2/5 of them. 2/5 of 70 is equal to 28, so she has 28 fliers less than she started with. 70-28=42.
This week, she posted 4/7 of the remaining fliers (42). 4/7 of 42 is equal to 24. So, she has 24 less than 42, so 42-24=18.
She still needs to post 18 fliers.

Plz help me solve for x and y
Answer:
x = 40°
y = 30°
Step-by-step explanation:
Given parallelogram ABCD :
∠A = 3x°∠B = 2y°∠C = 120°∠A = ∠C∠B = ∠D∠A + ∠B = 180°∠B + ∠C = 180°∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360°∠A = ∠C
3x = 120
x = 120 ÷ 3
x = 40°∠B + ∠C = 180°
2y + 120 = 180
2y = 180 - 120
2y = 60
y = 60 ÷ 2
y = 30°Answer:
x = 40°
y = 30°
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the diagram of a parallelogram, where:
∠A = 3x°, ∠B = 2y°, and ∠C = 120°
The given problem also requires us to find the values of x and y.
In reference to the Parallelogram Opposite Angles Theorem, where it states that: if a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then it will have congruent opposite angles. In other words, ∠A ≅ ∠C , and ∠B ≅ ∠D.
Solve for x:Hence, we can establish the following equality statement to solve for the value of x:
m∠A = m∠C
3x° = 120°
Divide both sides by 3 to solve for x:
[tex]\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{3x^{\circ}}{3}=\:\frac{120^{\circ}}{3}}[/tex]
x = 40°
Therefore, the value of x = 40°.
Solve for y:In order to solve for y, we must refer to the Parallelogram Consecutive Angles Theorem, where it states that if a quadrilateral is a parallelogram, then its consecutive angles are supplementary whose sum add up to 180°.
In the given diagram, ∠A and ∠D, ∠B and ∠C are consecutive angles.
We can establish the following equation to solve for the value of y:
m∠B + m∠C = 180°
2y° + 120° = 180°
Subtract 120° from both sides:
2y° + 120° - 120° = 180° - 120°
2y° = 60°
Divide both sides by 2 to solve for y:
[tex]\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{2y^{\circ}}{2}=\:\frac{60^{\circ}}{2}}[/tex]
y = 30°
Therefore, the value of y = 30°.

the sum of -15/32 and 7/31 is which of the following answers: 1/4, -11/16, -1/8, -1/4
Answer:
-11/16
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD) of [tex]\frac{15}{32} ,\frac{7}{31}[/tex] In other words, find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 32,31.
Method 1: By Listing Multiples
1. List the multiples of each number.
Multiples of 32: 31,64,96,... 928, 960 ,992,...
Multiples of 31: 31, 62, 93 , ... , 930, 961 , 992, ...
Find the smallest number that is shared by all rows above. This is the LCM.
LCM = 992
Method 2: By Prime Factors
1. List the prime factors of each number.
Prime Factors of 32: 2,2,2,2,2
Prime Factors of 31: 31
2. Find the union of these primes.
2,2,2,2,2,31
3. Multiply these numbers: 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 31 = 992. This is the LCM.
LCM = 992
2) Make the denominators the same as the LCD.
[tex]-\frac{15*31}{32*31} +\frac{7*32}{31*32}[/tex]
3) Simplify. Denominators are now the same.
[tex]-\frac{465}{992} +\frac{224}{992}[/tex]
4) Join the denominators.
[tex]\frac{-465+224}{992}[/tex]
5) Simplify
[tex]-\frac{241}{992}[/tex]

5x - 14 = 9x + 18 + 5.......distribute
-4x = 37.............move values and combine like terms
x= -9.25.............divide both sides by -4

What is the y-intercept of the graph of the equation y =(2x−3)^2+7
Answer:
(0,16)
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
The y intercept is the value in which the parabola passes through the y axis
Therefore, the value of x at the y intercept is 0
So to find the value of the y intercept, substitute x as 0 in the equation.
y=(2x-3)^2 + 7
If x=0, then:
y=(2(0)-3)^2 + 7
Multiply
y=(0-3)^2 + 7
Subtract 3 from 0
y=(-3)^2 + 7
Raise -3 to the second power
y= 9 + 7
Add 9 and 7 together
y = 16
So the y intercept is the point (0,16)
