Which excerpt from “How I Learned English” uses the first-person point of view to show that the main character feels out of place in his new environment? It was in an empty lot
Ringed by elms and fir and honeysuckle.
Bill Corson was pitching in his buckskin jacket,
Unnatural and without any moves,
My notions of baseball and America
Growing fuzzier each time I whiffed
I watched it closing in
Clean and untouched, transfixed
By its easy arc before it hit
There was a wild stamping of hands on the ground,
A kicking of feet, and the fit
Of laughter overtook me too,

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

x = 3 ± √(5+y)

answer: 7 x 2/5 = 2.8 hours, is your answer. your welcome! : 3

step-by-step explanation: first work out how long it took to hose 1/7 of the lawn which is 2/5 hours. times that by 7 to get the whole lawn.

sorry i don't know the other answer. i didn't learn what a proportional relationship is.
