Maya decides to use the method of proportions and similar triangles to find the height of a tower. She measures the length of the tower's shadow and finds it is 20 feet long. Then she holds a 12-inch ruler perpendicular to the ground and finds that it casts a 4-inch shadow. How tall is the tower? a. 2.4 ft c. 60 ft b. 5 ft d. 240 ft

C: 60 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Her pencil is 12 inches and its shadow is 4 inches. Her pencil is 3 times longer than its shadow, so using that logic we can conclude that the tower is 3 times longer than its shadow as well.

The tower is 60 feet tall.

f(x) = - 2/3x + 5; f(5/2)

substitute 5/2 in for x:

f(5/2) = -2/3(5/2) + 5

simplify the right side:

f(5/2) = -5/3 + 5

f(5/2) = 10/3

answer:

f(5/2) = 10/3

i hope this you!

i think that you should ask google for the answer to that problem because if we don't know it google does
