The path of a skateboarder along a ramp at a new skate park is shown below, where the starting position is on the left side of the ramp. which statement is true about this situation? a. the skateboarder's initial height is 8 feet and he is at ground-level 24 feet from the left edge of the ramp. b. the skateboarder's initial height is 16 feet and he is at ground-level 12 feet from the left edge of the ramp. c. the skateboarder's initial height is 12 feet and he is at ground-level 8 feet from the left edge of the ramp. d. the skateboarder's initial height is 8 feet and he is at ground-level 12 feet from the left edge of the ramp.

step-by-step explanation:

the correct answer is

c. 4

step-by-step explanation:

the given polynomial is

the degree of the polynomial is the highest exponent which is 4.

the -4 is called the leading coefficient.

this polynomial has only one term so it is a monomial.

the correct answer is option c.

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
