A lamppost is 6 feet high and casts and 8 foot shadow. At the same time of day, a flagpole near the lamppost cast a 20 foot shadow. Using the properties of similar triangles, find the height, H, of the flagpole
Answer:
15 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
I will assume that either both objects are standing straight. We can use similar triangles.
We can see that the side 8 is similar to the side 20, since they are both shadows. Therefore, we can set up an equation:
[tex]\frac{6}{8} =\frac{x}{20}[/tex]
we can cross multiply and get:
8x=120
solve for x:
x=15
Therefore, the lamppost must be 15 feet tall (unless it fell down but we won't talk about that)

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-7,8) and (-7,-6)
Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-9,-8) and (3,-8)
Answer:
1) undefined
2) 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope formula:
[tex]m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]
Problem 1:
(x1, y1) = (-7, 8)
(x2, y2) = (-7, -6)
Plug those 2 points into the slope formula and solve:
[tex]m=\frac{-6-8}{-7--7}\\\\m=\frac{-14}{0}[/tex]
Here, you can't divide by 0, so this slope is undefined. An undefined slope would make a completely vertical line on a graph. In this case, the equation of the line would be just:
[tex]x=-7[/tex]
Problem 2:
(x1, y1) = (-9, -8)
(x2, y2) = (3, -8)
[tex]m=\frac{-8--8}{3--9}\\\\m=\frac{0}{12}\\\\m=0[/tex]
The slope is 0, and that would make a horizontal line on a graph. The equation would be:
[tex]y=-8[/tex]
You don't actually need to fully work out the slope that way. If you ever have 2 points with the same x-coordinate, the slope has to be undefined. If you ever have 2 points with the same y-coordinate, then the slope has to be 0, assuming it's linear of course. You can see that in the points given, the first 2 have the same x and the second 2 have the same y.

The high temperature was recorded as 25.6°F. The low temperature that same day was recorded as −2.7°F. What was the difference between the high and low temperatures for that day? Enter your answer as a decimal in the box.
28.3
Step-by-step explanation:
the difference is the answer to a subtraction problem so we can plug in our numbers like this
25.6-(-2.7) which equals 28.3
a good thing to remember when subtracting negative numbers is that a positive and negative won't always make a negative like in this example
Answer:
He's right it's 28.3

13. The function y = 40(x - 1) + 70 can be used to determine the cost in dollars
for renting a trampoline park for a birthday party for x hours. What is the rate of
change of the cost in dollars to rent the trampoline park with respect to time?
A
$30 per hour
$40 per hour
B
с
$60 per hour
D
$110 per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
the function actually is
y = 40(x - 1) + 70 = 40x - 40 + 70 = 40x + 30
still, the slope (the factor of x) is 40.
that means y (the cost) increases by 40 for every additional hour (x increases by 1).
so, the rate of change (slope) is 40/1 = $40 per hour.

MARKING AS BRAINLIEST!! Starr if given functions are inverse)!
Answer: They are inverses of each other
==========================================================
Explanation:
We'll need to compute h(f(x)) and f(h(x)) to see if we get x each time.
[tex]h(x) = 9x-4\\\\h(f(x)) = 9(f(x))-4\\\\h(f(x)) = 9\left(\frac{x+4}{9}\right)-4\\\\h(f(x)) = x+4-4\\\\h(f(x)) = x\\\\[/tex]
and,
[tex]f(x) = \frac{x+4}{9}\\\\f(h(x)) = \frac{h(x)+4}{9}\\\\f(h(x)) = \frac{9x-4+4}{9}\\\\f(h(x)) = \frac{9x}{9}\\\\f(h(x)) = x\\\\[/tex]
Both composite functions lead to x each time.
The equations h(f(x)) = x and f(h(x)) = x being true means each function is the inverse of the other.

A train has 11 train cars. At least 11 passengers are in each train car. No 3 neighboring train cars have more than 50 passengers altogether. What is the maximum possible number of people on the train?
The maximum possible number of people on the train is 183.
Given that a train has 11 train cars, and at least 11 passengers are in each train car, and no 3 neighboring train cars have more than 50 passengers altogether, to determine what is the maximum possible number of people on the train, the following calculation must be done:
50/3 = 16.66 16 + 17 + 17 = 50 16 + 17 + 17 + 16 + 17 + 17 + 16 + 17 + 17 + 16 + 17 = X 16 x 4 + 17 x 7 = X 64 + 119 = X 183 = X
Therefore, the maximum possible number of people on the train is 183.

Two containers designed to hold water are side by side, both in the shape of a cylinder. Container A has a diameter of 18 feet and a height of 15 feet. Container B has a diameter of 16 feet and a height of 18 feet. Container A is full of water and the water is pumped into Container B until Conainter B is completely full.
To the nearest tenth, what is the percent of Container A that is full after the pumping is complete?
Answer:
5.2%
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of cylinder= πr²h
In Container A,
D= 18ft, r=18/2=9ft, h=15ft
volume= 22/7 × 9² × 15
= 26730/7 cubic ft.
In Container B,
D=16ft, r= 16/2=8ft, h=18ft
volume= 22/7 × 8² × 18
= 25344/7 cubic ft.
percent of amount of water left in Container A= percent of container A that is full after pumping
Amount of water left in Container A,
26730/7 - 25344/7 = 1386/7
Therefore, % of container A that is full= 1386/7 ÷ 26730/7 × 100
(1386×7×100)/(7×26730)= 5.185
To the nearest tenth= 5.2%

What are permutation and combination?A permutation is an act of correctly arranging things or pieces. Combinations are a method of taking stuff or pieces from an assortment of items or sets in which the order of the items is irrelevant.
The definition of simplicity is making something simpler to achieve or grasp while also making it a little less difficult.
A canine sanctuary is offering 18 unique canines, yet you have space for just 4 of them.
Then the number of different dog families that you can create is given as,
¹⁸C₄ = (18!) / [(18 - 4)! x 4!]
¹⁸C₄ = (18 x 17 x 16 x 15 x 14!) / (14! x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1)
¹⁸C₄ = 6 x 17 x 2 x 15
¹⁸C₄ = 3060
The number of different dog families that you can create will be 3060.
