Answer:

42.0 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

let t be the height of the tree.

<u><em>At the same time ,the measure of something </em></u>

<u><em>and its shadow are proportional</em></u> .

Then

\frac{2}{6} =\frac{14}{t}

Then

2t = 6 × 14

Then

2t = 84

Then

t = 84/2

Then

t = 42

Therefore the tree is 42 ft tall

A shelf is the shape of a triangle. Find the angles of the triangle if the measure of the angle are in the ratio x:x:4x.
lesantik [10]
The value of x is 30; hence 4x is equal to 120. That is because the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180. So, add x, x and 4x together, you get 6x. Divide 180 by 6, you get 30. Hope this helped!

Mikayla is a waitress who makes a guaranteed $50 per day in addition to tips of 20% of all her weekly customer receipts, t. She
notsponge [240]

Answer:

D. f(t)=300+0.20t

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Mikayla is a waitress who makes a guaranteed $50 per day.

Since Miklaya works  6 days per week, so the guaranteed income for one week would be \$50\times 6=\$300  

We are also told that she gets tips of 20% of all her weekly customer receipts, t. So amount earned from tips would be 20% of t, that is \frac{20}{100}t=0.20t.

Total amount earned in one week would be guaranteed income for 1 week plus 20% of t:

300+0.20t

Therefore, our required function is f(t)=300+0.20t and option D is the correct choice.
