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)

A positive integer squared plus 3 times it’s consecutive integer is equal to 43
Answer:
the integer is 5
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2+3(x+1)=43
x^2+3x+3=43
x^2+3x+(9/4)=43-3+(9/4)
(x+(3/2))^2=42 1/4
x+(3/2)=sqrt(42 1/4)
x+(3/2)=6 1/2
x=(6 1/2)-(3/2)
x=5
check:
5^2+3(6)=43
25+18=43
43=43
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
let positive integer be x
x² + 3(x+1)=43
x²+3x+3-43=0
x² + 3x - 40 = 0
x² + 8x - 5x - 40 = 0
x(x+8) - 5(x+8)=0
(x-5)(x+8)=0
x-5=0 or x+8=0
x=5. or x=-8
but the question says positive integer,
therefore, x=5

Charles wants to buy an anime book that is on sale for $14.99. Her sister kyra wants to buy a novel book for $17.99. Both of them has to pay a 7% tax. Kyra has a coupon for 15% discount. Whats the difference between the amount that each siblings has to pay?
Answer:
The difference between their total amounts is .34 cents
also it didnt look like i was supposed to count a discount for charles so i didnt :)
Step-by-step explanation:
Charles14.99 times .07 = 1.04
14.99 + 1.04 = 16.03
Kyra17.99 times .15 = 2.69
17.99 -2.69 = 15.30
15.30 times .7 = 1.07
15.30 + 1.07 = 16.37
16.37 - 16.03 = .34

Ali had 5/7 of a spool of yarn. He used 5/6 of his yarn for a project. What fraction of the spool was used for the project? Write your answer in simplest form.
- Due 11:59 today
- Will mark brainliest
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We have no idea what time zone you are in so hope this gets there soon enough.
Do you mean "What fraction of a FULL spool of yarn did he use?" because he used 5/6 of the spool he had.
IF SO
Then
(5/7)(5/6) = 25/42
That's just under 60% of a full spool would be used to complete the same project again.
Solve the following system of equations:
Answer:
The correct answer is option B: (-1, -1).
Step-by-step explanation:
The easiest way to solve this system is using elimination, or by adding the two equations together. We don't have to modify the equations at all, since the x's will already cancel out as written.
Upon addition, we get:
9y = -9
If we solve the equation by dividing both sides by 9, we get:
y = -1
To find the x value, we can substitute this value back into either of our original equations.
6x + 4y = -10
6x - 4 = -10
To solve for x, we should isolate the variable, or get it alone on one side of the equation.
6x = -6
x = -1
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = -1 and y = -1, or (-1, -1), which is option B.

If the Ending Inventory increases and everything else remains the same, what happens to the Food Cost?
An increase in the ending inventory will cause the cost of food sold at the end of the year to appear lower that it really is.
The cost of goods ( example, food) is directly affected by the amount of inventory at the end of an account period.
If the ending Inventory increases and everything else remains the same, the cost of goods sold is calculated as follows;
cost of food sold = Benning inventory + purchases - ending inventory
From the equation above, an increase in the ending inventory will cause the cost of food sold at the end of the year to appear lower that it really is.

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.

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.

Step-by-step explanation:
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%

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.
At a school game, student tickets were 50 cents each and adult tickets were $1 each. If the total receipts from 900 tickets were $500, how many tickets of each kind were sold?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A(1.00) + S(0.50) = 500
A + S = 900
S = 900 - A
A(1.00) + (900 - A)(0.50) = 500
A + 450 - 0.5A = 500
0.5A = 50
A = 100 adults
S = 900 - 100
S = 800 students
No. of students tickets sold is 800 and no. of adult tickets sold is 100.
What is linear equation in two variable ?A linear equation has highest degree of 1 and it contains two variables generally x and y.
According to the given question At a school game, student tickets were 50 cents each and adult tickets were $1 each. If the total receipts from 900 tickets were $500.
Assuming no. of students to be x and no. of adults to be y.
∴ x + y = 900...(i)
And
0.5x + y = 500...(ii)
Subtracting eqn (i) and (ii) we get
0.5x = 400
x = 800.
So, 800 + y = 900
y = 100.
Therefore how many tickets are sold is same as the no. of students and adults which are 800 and 100 respectively.
