Using similarity principle, the height of the tree is 1.97 meters

<h3>How to find height of the tree?</h3>

He is 1.75 meters tall.

His shadow = 33.7 meters

The length of the tree shadows = 37.95 meters

Using similarity principles where the corresponding length are a ratio of each other.

Therefore,

1.75 / x = 33.7 / 37.95

cross multiply

37.95 × 1.75 = 33.7x

66.4125 = 33.7x

divide both sides by 33.7

x = 66.4125 / 33.7

x = 1.97069732938

x = 1.97 meters

Write an equation for the line that is parallel to the glven line and that passes
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

The answer to your question is  y = x - 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Process

1.- Get the slope of the line

If two lines are parallels, it means that they have the same slope.

                                 y = 1x - 10

Slope = m = 1

2.- Get the equation of the line

                               y - y1 = m(x - x1)

                               y + 29 = 1(x + 6)                 Substitution

                               y + 29 = x + 6                     Expanding

                               y = x + 6 - 29                      Simplifying

                               y = x - 23

Consider the following system of equations: y=2x−2 6x+3y=2 The graph of these equations consists of two lines that: 1. intersect
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

3.  Intersect at exactly one point.  ( (2/3), (-2/3) )

Step-by-step explanation:

To make the comparison of these lines easier, let's rewrite the 2nd equation into slope-intercept form, as the 1st equation is in slope-intercept form.

[1] y = 2x - 2

---------------------

[2] 6x + 3y = 2 ==> 3y = 2 - 6x ==> y = -2x + (2/3)

[2] y = -2x + (2/3)

So now that we have both equations in slope-intercept form, we can see that the two equations are both linear, have different slopes, and have different y-intercepts.

Since these equations have both different slopes and different y-intercepts, we know that the lines will cross at least one point.  We can confirm that the lines only cross at a single point using the fact that both equations are linear, meaning there will only be one point of crossing.  To find that point, we can simply set the equations equal to each other.

y = 2x - 2

y = -2x + (2/3)

2x - 2 = -2x + (2/3)

4x = (8/3)

x = (8/12) = (2/3)

And plug this x value back into one of the equations:

y = 2x - 2

y = 2(2/3) - 2

y = (4/3) - (6/3)

y = (-2/3)

Thus these lines only cross at the point ( (2/3), (-2/3) ).

Cheers.
