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 line through the midpoint of and perpendicular to the segment joining points (1, 0) and (5, -2). The answe is x_ _= somethin
guapka [62]
First, you have to find the midpoint of the segment. Using the midpoint theorem, (which is (x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2 ) the midpoint of that segment in (3,-1)

Next find the slope of the segment 1,0 and 5,-2  using rise over run or deltax / deltay which is a fancy way of saying change in x over change in y. 

The slope is 4/2 or 2 
When a line is perpendicular to another the slope is the negative reciprocal so the slope of our new line will be -1/2

Now plug in the coordinate (3, -1)  to find the y-intercept and the equation of that line will be complete


so -1 = -1/2 (3) +b
-1= -1.5 +b
0.5 = b


The final equation will be -1/2x + 0.5 =y

hope this helps:)

Juan starts walking at 4 miles per hour. An hour and a half later, Cathy starts jogging along the same route at 7 miles per hour
kifflom [539]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Juan speed = 4 mi/h

Cathy speed = 7 mi/h

t = x

Formula

speed = distance/time

Solve for distance

distance = speed x time

           d = s x t

Distance travelled by Juan

          d = 4t

Distance travelled by Juan in 1.5 h

         d = 4(1.5)

         d = 6 mi

total distance    d = 6 + 4t

Distance travelled by Cathy

         d = vt

         d = 7t

Equal both equations

         6 + 4t = 7t

Solve for t

         6 = 7t - 4t

         6 = 3t

         6/3 = t

         2 = t

Cathy wll catch up with Juan in 2 hours
