Hi Melanie!

This problem involves proportion.

Let x be the unknown, which is the height of the building.

height of pole = height of the building

height of the shadow height of the shadow

3.3 m = x

1.78 m 49. 75 m

Solve for x.

(3.3 m) (49.75 m) = x

1.78 m

92.2331460674 = x

Rounded to the nearest meter, the building is 92 meters high.

Hope that helps.

The fraction bars are not coming out (Underline), I don't know why... but yeah, that is the answer.

8

step-by-step explanation:

to find the amount of gift bags to use all the supplies, find the gcf or greatest common factor. this is the largest number which multiplies evenly into each term.

48 has factors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12. 16, 24, 48

80 has factors: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 80

64 has factors: 1, 2, 4, 8, 8, 16, 32, 64

the highest number factor they all share in common is 8. this means there will be 8 bags with 6 pencils, 10 markers, and 8 stickers in each bag.

correct answer is option b.

step-by-step explanation:

the true statement about geometric figure is option b that is one line can be drawn through all three points.

if three points are on the same plane, they can be connected by a line.
