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

Which of the following statements have the same result? Explain each step in solving each one.. . I f(3) when f(x) = 2x + 2. II
zhuklara [117]
F(x) = 2x + 2.....find f(3)
f(3) = 2(3) + 2
f(3) = 6 + 2
f(3) = 8

f(x) = (3x - 4)/5....find f^-1(4)
y = (3x - 4)/5...swap the variables
x = (3y - 4)/5 ...solve for y
5x = 3y - 4
5x + 4 = 3y
(5x + 4)/3 = y
f^-1(x) = (5x + 4)/3.....for f(4)
f(4) = (5(4) + 4)/3
f(4) = (20 + 4)/3
f(4) = 24/3
f(4) = 8

y + 10 = 2y + 1
y - 2y = 1 - 10
-y = -9
y = 9

so 1 and 2 have the same result...8

Naomi can text 90 words in 12 minutes. At this rate, how many minutes would it take her to text 165 words?
AVprozaik [17]
To find the answer you have to see how many words see can type in a minute. To do that you can divide 90 into 12. You will get an answer of 7.5. Now that you know she can type 7.5 words per minute you can divide 165 in to 7.5. Will get an answer of 22. She will take 22 minutes to text 165 words.

What is 3/4 + 1/6 divided by 2/5 evaluated and simplified into a fraction?
BabaBlast [244]
3/4 + 1/6= the common denominator is 12
3x2/4x3 + 1x2/6x2= you must multiply the bottom values of the fraction to get 12 and whatever you multiply on the bottom you must do on the top as well
6/12 + 2/12= now you can add it
8/12
8/12 ÷ 2/5= you must multiply by the reciprocal
8x5/12x2=
40/36= this is the answer
10/9 (this is the simplified answer)

The supplement of angle t is 4 times the measure of angle t
posledela
Supplementary angles need to equal 180 degrees
 one angle = t
the other angle = 4 x t or 4t
 so we now have t + 4t = 180

4 + 4t = 5t

so we have 5t = 180

divide both sides by 5:
t = 180 /5
t = 36
 so angle t = 36 degrees

the other angle = 4 x 36 = 144 degrees
