3) julian's shadow is 6 feet long. at the same time a 31 foot tall building casts a shadow that is 28 feet long. what proportion could be used to find julian's

You are given the height of the building and the length of the shadow the building gives, so you can set that up as a proportion of Height of building over the length of the shadow so 31/28.

Now you can set the same proportion for Julian, using X for her height, so you would have x/6.

To solve for her height, set the two proportions equal and solve for x:

31/28 = x/6

Cross multiply:

31 * 6 = 28 *x

186 = 28x

Divide both sides by 28:

x = 186 / 28

x = 6.64 feet tall

answer:   segregation violated the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, which holds that no state can “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

details/explanation:

brown v. board of education of topeka, decided by the us supreme court in 1954, ruled that all americans are entitled to the same civil liberties and protections in regard to access to education. until that decision, it was legal to segregate schools according to race, so that black students could not attend the same schools as white students.   an older supreme court decision, plessy v. ferguson (1896), had said that separate, segregated public facilities were acceptable as long as the facilities offered were equal in quality.   in the case of brown v. board of education, that standard was challenged and defeated.   segregation was shown to create inequality, and the supreme court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional.

the ruling was important in advancing civil rights because it affirmed that the 14th amendment applies to all rights and privileges of citizens, including access to   education.   this was being violated by states whose laws supported the segregation of schools.   section 1 of the 14th amendment reads as follows:
