Matt wants to know the height of a sailboat mast. If the sailboat mast casts a shadow 32 yards long and a nearby pine tree that is 15 yards tall casts a shadow 8 yards long, then how tall is the sailboat mast? Write your answer as a whole number or a decimal. Do not round.

Step-by-step explanation:

15/8 * 32= x

60 = X

Step-by-step explanation:

its 60

-6 is the correct option from the above given options

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.
