When the sun is at a certain angle in the sky, a 100 foot building will cast a 25 foot shadow. How y’all is a person if he casts

a 1.5 foot shadow at the same time?

The height of the building, which is 100 ft, is four times greater than the shadow it casts, measuring 25 ft. Similarly, by maintaining this ratio, a person whose shadow is 1.5 ft tall will stand at four times that length, resulting in... 4 × (1.5 ft) = 6.0 ft. Therefore, the person's height is 6 ft.

The area of an extra large circular pizza from Gambino's Pizzeria is 484\pi \text{ cm}^2484π cm 2 484, pi, space, c, m, start su

Answer:

The diameter of a large pizza from Gambino's Pizzeria is 44\ cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

The area of a circle (circular pizza) is calculated as

A=\pi r^{2}

we have

A=484\pi\ cm^{2}

substitute values into the equation and resolve for the radius r

484\pi=\pi r^{2}

Simplify

484=r^{2}

r=22\ cm

Determine the diameter

Remember, the diameter is double the radius

D=2(22)=44\ cm

Keitaro walks at a pace of 3 miles per hour and runs at a pace of 6 miles per hour. Each month, he wants to complete at least 36
tester [12383]

Answer:

Option 1 is valid, which entails 2 hours of walking and 12 hours of running.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations provided are:

3w + 6r ≥ 36

3w + 6r ≤ 90

We'll assess which options comply with these equations.

1) 2 hours walking; 12 hours running

w = 2 and r = 12

3w + 6r ≥ 36

3(2) + 6(12) ≥ 36

6+72 ≥ 36

78 ≥ 36

3w + 6r ≤ 90

3(2) + 6(12) ≤ 90

6+72 ≤ 90

78 ≤ 90

Both equations are satisfied. Option 1 is valid.

2) 4 hours walking; 3 hours running

w = 4 and r = 3

3w + 6r ≥ 36

3(4) + 6(3) ≥ 36

12+18 ≥ 36

30 ≥ 36 (this does not hold since 30 < 36)

3w + 6r ≤ 90

3(4) + 6(3) ≤ 90

12+18 ≤ 90

30 ≤ 90

Thus, Option 2 is invalid.

3) 9 hours running; 12 hours walking

w = 9 and r = 12

3w + 6r ≥ 36

3(9) + 6(12) ≥ 36

27+72 ≥ 36

99 ≥ 36

3w + 6r ≤ 90

3(9) + 6(12) ≤ 90

27+72 ≤ 90

99 ≤ 90 (this does not hold since 99 > 90)

Option 3 is invalid.

4) 12 hours walking; 10 hours running

w = 12 and r = 10

3w + 6r ≥ 36

3(12) + 6(10) ≥ 36

36+60 ≥ 36

96 ≥ 36

3w + 6r ≤ 90

3(12) + 6(10) ≤ 90

36 + 60 ≤ 90

96 ≤ 90 (this does not hold since 96 > 90)

So, Option 4 is invalid.

While on vacation in Canada, you notice that temperatures are reported in degrees Celsius. You know there is a linear
zzz [12365]

Given that the relationship is linear.

The equation can be expressed as y = mx + c.

Substituting, when x = 0, we have y = 32.

Thus, 32 = c.......( 1 )

Then, when x = 100, y results in 212.

Which gives us:

212 = 100m + c.......( 2 )

By equating equations 1 and 2, we obtain:

100m = 212 - 32

Solving for x yields 1.8.

The final equation is therefore y = 1.8x + 32.

Hence, this represents the required solution.

Two more than a certain number is 15 less<br> than the product of 7/8 and the number.
Zina [12379]

Answer:

The solution yields a number equal to -136.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number, leading to the following equation:

x + 2 = 7/8 x - 15

Rearranging gives:

x - 7/8 x = -15 - 2

1/8 x = -17

x = -17 * 8 resulting in -136.
