The two equations that can be used to find the height are as follows:

  • 12 / 4 = h  /5
  • 5 / 4 = h  / 12

<h3>Similar Triangles</h3>

Similar triangles are not necessarily the same in size. Corresponding angles of similar triangles are congruent. The sides of similar triangle are a ratio of each other.

The tree cast a shadow of 12 ft. Let's establish the proportion base on similar triangles. The height of the tree is h. Therefore,

  • h / 12 = 5 / 4

Therefore,

h / 12 = 5 / 4

cross multiply

4h = 60

divide both sides by 4

h = 60 / 4

h = 15 ft

Therefore, the two equations that can be used to find the height are as follows:

  • 12 / 4 = h  /5
  • 5 / 4 = h  / 12

An airplane is ascending at a constant rate of 15 feet per second what is the change in altitude during 10 minutes of flight
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

9000 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A airplane is ascending at a constant rate of 15 feet per second,

What we need to know: The change in altitude during 10 minutes of flight,

60 seconds = 1 minute

60 × 10

= 600 seconds

600 × 15

= 9000 ft

Therefore there was a 9000 ft change in altitude during the 10 minutes of the flight.

Let U = {t,u,v,w.x,y,z). A = {w.y}, B = {v,w}, C = {t.x.v}, and D = {v.z.x.t,w}. Tell whether the statement below is true or fal
Licemer1 [7]

Given

Let U = {t,u,v,w.x,y,z). A = {w.y}, B = {v,w}, C = {t.x.v}, and D = {v.z.x.t,w}. Tell whether the statement below is true or false. U is the universal set.

Solution

A universal set (usually denoted by U) is a set which has elements of all the related sets, without any repetition of elements.Say if A and B are two sets, such as A = {1,2,3} and B = {1,a,b,c}, then the universal set associated with these two sets is given by U = {1,2,3,a,b,c}.

Since, set A, Set B, Set C and Set D are subset of Set U

Therfore, it is true Set
