You and a friend want to know how much rope you need to climb a large rock. Your friend is 5.5 feet tall and casts a shadow that is 18 feet long. If the rock casts a shadow that is 209.5 feet long, calculate the height of the rock from the ground. Round your answer to the nearest foot. (Hint: make a drawing) a. 64 ft b. 18 ft c. 210 ft d. 219 ft

The value of x from the equation is 64 ft. Thus, they will be needing approximately 64 ft of rope.

Step-by-step explanation: The concept that is useful in order to answer this item is the concept of ratio and proportion. Let x be the height of the rock from the ground. We use the equation below to answer.

                                   5.5 ft / 18 ft = x ft / 209.5 ft

0.16 or 16%

step-by-step explanation:

lets take a coin for example.

if you toss it twice, it has a 1/4 chance of landing on heads both times because 1/2 * 1/2 is 1/4.

with the cards, the chance of picking dog is 0.4. having two people pick one is like picking a card twice in a row. so 0.4 * 0.4 is 0.16, or 16%

a; x = 0.5

step-by-step explanation:

-10x = -5

x = 0.5
