Answer:

The answer to your question is: the three is 21 ft tall

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Thales's theorem to solve this exercise

Data

light post height = 9 ft

shadow of the light post = 6 ft

tree shadow = 14 ft

height of the three = x

        Proportions                

                                    x /  9 = 14 / 6

Solve for x                  x = 14(9) / 6

                                   x = 21 ft

5. What is the solution of |3x-3|_&lt;18?
Mrrafil [7]
Answer : D

WORK...
|3x-3| \leq 18&#10;

PART 1:
3x-3 \leq 18&#10; add 3 on both sides... 3x \leq 21 divide by 3 on both sides... x \leq 7

PART 2:
3x-3 \geq -18  add 3 on both sides... 3x \geq -15&#10; divide 3 on both sides... x \geq -5

plug both answers together..
-5 \leq x \leq 7
