Answer:

2.5477 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer the image attached to understand my solution.

BC = height of lamppost.

DE = Julia

AD = shadow of Julia

BD = 2 feet.      AD = 5 feet

BA = BD + AD

       = 2 + 5 = 7 feet

In ΔABC

tan 20° = \frac{BC}{BA}  = \frac{BC}{7}

BC = 7 * tan 20°

BC = 2.5477 feet

SO the height of lamppost = 2.5477 feet

What is 13/56 + 5/7=
Darya [45]
<span>The question is asking us to calculate : 13/56 + 5/7. To do this we have first to find the common denominator for these fractions. We know that 56 = 7 * 8, so the common denominator is 56. Then we will multiply the numerator and the denominator of the second fraction by 8. 5/7 * 8/8 = 40/56. Finally we will add : 13/56 + 40/56 = 53/56 and that is the final answer, which can not be simplified. Answer: 53/56</span>

A particular rocket taking off from the earth surface uses fuel at a constant rate of 12.5 gallons per minute the rocket initial
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

y=12.5x+225

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of minutes

y ----> the amount of fuel in gallons

we know that

The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

where

m is the unit rate or slope

b is the y-intercept or initial value

we have that

The unit rate or slope is equal to

m=12.5\ \frac{gal}{min}

b=225\ gal ----> initial value (value of y when the value of x is equal to zero)

substitute

y=12.5x+225
