<span><u>Answer </u>
18 feet and 4.5 inches

<u>Explanation </u>
You are going to use the concept of similar triangle.
∆CED≡∆CBA
This is because they share the angle at C and also they both have an angle of 90o.
Let EC = X, then BE = 2.5X. So, BE = (X + 2.5X) = 3.5X
The scale factor EC/BC=x/3.5x=2/7
EC/BC=ED/BA=2/7
BA=7/2×63 in
The height of the tree = 220.5 inches. This is equal 18 feet and 4.5 inches.

Answer:

The answers are \frac{2}{5}, \frac{1}{4}, \frac{1}{10}, \frac{5}{2}, \frac{5}{8}, \frac{4}{1}, \frac{8}{5}, and \frac{10}{1}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportions are fractions that can be made by using the given numbers, which in this case are 2, 5, 8, and 20. Let's pair each one with the other three and then simplify if possible.

First, let's begin with 2:

\frac{2}{5} = \frac{2}{5}

\frac{2}{8} = \frac{1}{4}

\frac{2}{20} = \frac{1}{10}

Then, let's do 5:

\frac{5}{2} = \frac{5}{2}

\frac{5}{8} = \frac{5}{8}

\frac{5}{20} = \frac{1}{4}

Note that we already have \frac{1}{4}, so we do not need to include an additional one.

Now, let us do 8:

\frac{8}{2} = \frac{4}{1}

\frac{8}{5} = \frac{8}{5}

\frac{8}{20} = \frac{2}{5}

See how we already have \frac{2}{5}, so we won't have to include that as well.

Finally, let's do 20:

\frac{20}{2} = \frac{10}{1}

\frac{20}{5} = \frac{4}{1}

\frac{20}{8} = \frac{5}{2}

Now see that we already have both \frac{4}{1} and \frac{5}{2}, so we won't have to include both of them, as they are both extras.

Hence, the answers are \frac{2}{5}, \frac{1}{4}, \frac{1}{10}, \frac{5}{2}, \frac{5}{8}, \frac{4}{1}, \frac{8}{5}, and \frac{10}{1}.

Help please!! someone explain
valina [46]
Well, the answer is 12. This is because you need to add the inverse operation. So for (6x-6)  You add 6 or  the second number( the one that doesn't have the x in front of it)because it is the opposite/inverse operation.You basically just add 6 and because the opposite of subtraction is addition. You then cross is out because it will equal zero. Then with the 6x, you add 6 as well because what you do to one side, you must do the same to the other. so 6+6=12. SO x=12.

I need help..What’s the answer
RSB [31]

Answer:

D. 3,750

Step-by-step explanation:

Use proportions to solve:

125/500 = x/15000

Cross multiply:

125*15000 = 1,875,000

1,875,000/500 = 3,750

x = 3,750
