Remark
Make up a proportion that relates the tree and its properties to the stick and its properties.
Givens
Stick height (s_h) = 4
Stick shadow(s_s) = 2
Tree shadow = t_s = 18
Tree height = x
Formula
s_h / s_s = x / t_s
Substitute and solve.
4/2 = x / 18 Cross multiply
4*18 = 2 * x
72 = 2x Divide by 2
72/2 = x
x = 36
The height of the tree is 36 feet.
Answer:
+ 6x + 9 ...so x2 + 6x + 9 is a perfect square trinomial. ... The first term, 16x2, is the square of 4x, and the last term, 36, is the square of 6. (4x)2 – 48x + 62.

Answer:
Height of the streetlight ≈ 8 ft(nearest foot)
Step-by-step explanation:
The doc file displays the triangle formed from the illustration. x is the height of the street light. The distance from the gentle man to the street light is 10 ft. He has a height of 5.6 ft and the shadow formed on the ground is 24 ft long. The height of the street light can be calculated below.
The length of the tip of the shadow to the base of the street light is 34 ft. Similar triangle have equal ratio of their corresponding sides .
ab = 5.6 ft
The ratio of the base sides = 24/34
The ratio of the heights = 5.6/x
The two ratio are equal Therefore,
24/34 = 5.6/x
24x = 5.6 × 34
24x = 190.4
divide both side by 24
x = 190.4/24
x = 7.93333333333
x ≈ 8 ft
Height of the streetlight ≈ 8 ft(nearest foot)
Answer: 220
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Children (x): $2
Teens (y): $3, 
Adults: (z): $5
Quantity: x + y + z = 570 ⇒ x + + z = 570 ⇒ 1.75x + z = 570
Cost: 2x + 3y + 5z = 1950 ⇒ 2x + 3
+ 5z = 1950 ⇒ 2x + 2.25x + 5z = 1950 ⇒ 4.25x + 5z = 1950
Qty: 1.75x + z = 570 → 5(1.75x + z = 570) → 8.75x + 5z = 2850
Cost: 4.25x + 5z = 1950 → -1(4.25x + 5z = 1950 → <u> -4.25x - 5z</u> = <u>-1950 </u>
4.50x = 900
x = 200
Teens (y):
y = 
= 
= 150
Quantity: x + y + z = 570
200 + 150 + z = 570
350 + z = 570
z = 220
Answer:
The radius is 12.
Step-by-step explanation:
You're given the center and a point on the circle. The point and the center both have an x-coordinate of -5, so there is no horizontal distance between them. The distance is only in the vertical direction. The distance from 8 to -4 is 12. Since this is the distance from the center to a point on the circle, this equals the radius.
