A 6 foot tall man makes a shadow that is 3 feet long. How tall is a building that makes a 14 foot shadow?

[A] Write a proportion that is defined by this situation.

[B] Explain how the cross product is used to solve the problem.

[C] Answer the question.

A) 1 : 12/7

B) see explanation below

C) 25.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

6 : 3.5 --> 1 : 12/7

x : 14.875 -->  1 : 12/7

x= (14.875) (12/7)

x=  25.5

pentagon

step-by-step explanation:

the coordinates   a(5, -2), b(3,-1),c(-4,-4) d(-3,8) and e(-1,4) forms the vertices of the polygon when they are connected in order.

in order to classify that which polygon is it with the given coordinates, first count the number of vertices and then count the number of sides it can make with these vertices.

since, the given coordinates have five vertices, therefore, it will make five sides. moreover, pentagon is regular in nature therefore it will be convex.

now, a polygon with five sides is known as pentagon, therefore, the given polygon is the pentagon.
