Answer:

176.39 inches or

14.70 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the right triangle made by Kristen, ground and shadow.

This triangle has one leg as 64 inches.

Next consider the right triangle formed by street light, ground upto shadow tip.

The two triangles have common angle of elevation and also another angle as 90 degrees.

Hence the two triangles would be similar

Also if A is the angle made by hypotenuse of both triangles with the ground we have

tanx=\frac{64}{82}

This value also equals by bigger triangle as

tanx=\frac{h}{82+12(12)}=\frac{h}{226}

From these two we get

h = height of street light =\frac{226(64)}{82} =176.39

what are the domain and range of f(x) = 4x – 8? domain: {x | x is a real number}; range: {y | y > –8} domain: {x | x is a rea
Serga [27]

Answer : domain: {x | x is a real number}; range: {y | y >- 8}

the domain and range of f(x) = 4^x – 8

For exponential function , there is no restriction for x

So domain is all real numbers

For exponential function , f(x) = a^x + b

The range is y > b

The range of f(x) = 4^x -8 is y> -8

domain: {x | x is a real number}; range: {y | y > –8}

a dance club spent $922 on 40 items.The item include some hats and pairs of shoes.Each hat cost $19 and each pair of shoes cost
Sergio039 [100]

1. H+S=40

2. 19H+25S=922

From 1,

19H+19S=760

Subtract this from 2 to eliminate H,

19H+25S-19H-19S=922-760

6S=162

Solve for S, then use either equation to solve for H.

Which equation represents the graphed function?
Alika [10]

Answer:

y = -1/3x +3

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (2-3)/(3-0)

   -1/3

Then we know the y intercept( where it crosses the y axis)

It crosses at y=3

The slope intercept form is

y= mx+b  where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = -1/3x +3

Find the length of the longest line segment that can be drawn on a rectangular board 3.07m by 2.24m
nikklg [1K]
For rectangle
l=3.07m
b=2.24m
so longest side that can be drawn is diagonal of rectangular board
=squareroot l^2+b^2
=squareroot3.07^2+2.24^2
=squareroot9.4249+5.0176
=squareroot14.4425
=3.80
So longest line that can be drawn in rectangular board is 3.80m
