Charles decides to use the method of proportions and similar
triangles to find the height of a lamppost. He measures the length of
the post's shadow and finds it is 10 feet long. Then he holds a 12-inch
ruler perpendicular to the ground and finds that it casts a 4-inch
shadow. How tall is the lamppost?
a. 2.5 ft c. 30 ft
b. 4.8 ft d. 120 ft

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 30 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

10 = x

12 = 4

Divide by 4

1inch shadow = 3 inches height

1 inch of a shadow is 3 inches

10 feet is 120 inches

120 * 3

360 inches height = 30 ft

Answer 2
I think it might be A. Since sometimes shadows can come off longer than the actual object.

Part A: James bought a cake that weighs 3 and 1 over 4 pounds. How many ounces does the cake weigh? Show your work. (5 points)

[16 ounces = 1 pound]

Answers

Answer:

3 pound cake=48 ounces)4 pound cake=64 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

[16 ounces = 1 pound]-so you got this

James bought a cake that weighed over 4 pounds.

And one that is 3 pounds,so you wanna multiply 16 x 3 and you get 48

So that leaves the 3 pound cake to be 48 ounces

Just like the first one,you wanna multiply 16 x 4 and you get 64

It is 52 because:
16 oz. are in every 1 lb., so we multiply
3 x 16 which gives you 48.
Adding the 1/4, 1/4 of 16 is 4, so add 4 to 48.

seems the answer has been figured out

Two linear functions, one that has the domain x < 0 is y = - x - 3

And, one that has the domain x ≥ 0 is y = x + 3.

What is linear expression?

A linear expression is an algebraic statement where each term is either a constant or a variable raised to the first power.

We have to given that;

The absolute value function is,

⇒ y = |x| - 3

So, The linear function which has the domain x < 0 is,

⇒ y = - x - 3

I need brainliest please

We want to find the rate of change of the population of Austin, Texas in the years between 1980 and 1990.

The answer is: r = 12,600 people/year.

We will assume that this increase in population is modeled with a linear equation, remember that a general linear equation is:

y = a*x + b

Where the rate of change, or slope, is a.

We know that if a line passes through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) the slope is given by the formula:

[tex]a = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

For this case we have two points, these are:

(1980, 346,000)

(1990, 472,000)

Then the slope or rate of change is just:

[tex]a = \frac{472,000 - 346,000}{1990 - 1980} = 12,600[/tex]

To be complete we need to add the correspondent units, which are people per year.

Then the rate of change is:

r = 12,600 people/year.

Terry is an up-and-coming florist who specializes in weddings. He uses 5 roses, 3 daisies, and 4 bundles of green filler to make one bouquet. If r is the cost of a rose, d is the cost of a daisy, and f is the cost of a bundle of green filler, which expression represents the cost for making 75 bouquets?
75r +75d + 75f + 12
(5r + 3d + 4f) + 75
75(5r) + 75(3d) + 75(4f)
75(5r + 3d + 4f)

Answers

Answer: The last two are right

Step-by-step explanation: 75x5= $375, 75x3=$225, 75x4=$300.

Add all the sums together and you will get the cost of 75 bouquets, which is $900. - NUMBER 3

5+3+4=12, 12x75=$900

Sorry if I'm wrong first time doing this.

Answer:

option (4) is correct. 75( 5r + 3d + 4f ) expression represents the cost for making 75 bouquets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: r is the cost of a rose, d is the cost of a daisy, and f is the cost of a bundle of green filler.

Terry uses 5 roses, 3 daisies, and 4 bundles of green filler to make one bouquet.

Thus, cost of one bouquet = cost of each flower used × number of flower used.

Total cost of one bouquet= 5r+3d+4f

Thus, cost for making 75 bouquets = 75 × cost of one bouquet

= 75( 5r + 3d + 4f )

Thus, option (4) is correct. 75( 5r + 3d + 4f ) is the correct expression to represents the cost for making 75 bouquets
