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

The ticket price for an ice hockey match used to cost £19.60. The price has now increased by 12.5%. How much will 2 tickets cost
Amanda [17]

Answer:

The 2 tickets will cost £44.10 after the increase.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to multiply £19.60 by 12.5% to find the increase in the cost of tickets.

19.60(0.125)=2.45

Add the price increase to the original cost to find the new cost of each ticket.

19.60+2.45=22.05

Multiply the result by 2 since you have to look for the cost of the 2 tickets.

22.05(2)=44.10

Are the corresponding sides of similar hexagons are always congruent
Lerok [7]
Two polygons are similar if their corresponding angles are congruent and their sides are in proportion.

The sides could be in a ration of 1:1 in which case the two hexagons have corresponding sides that are congruent, but they do not have to be. It could be the case that the sides of one are twice the length of the other so the ratio is 2:1. In this case the hexagons have the same shape but not the same size.

So the answer is this, the corresponding sides of similar hexagons may be congruent but do not have to be.
