The flag pole is 20 feet tall with an 8 foot shadow.

The tree is X feet tall with a 12 foot shadow.

20/8 = X/12

Cross multiply:

20 * 12 / 8*X

240 = 8x

Divide both sides by 8:

x = 240/8

x = 30

The tree is 30 feet tall.

Solve log x − 1 16 = 4.
Reptile [31]
I hope this helps you



log(x-1)4^2=4


2.log (x-1)4=4


log (x-1)4=2


log (x-2)2^2=2


2log (x-1)2=2


log (x-1)2=1


[logab=y b=a^y]


b=2 a=x-1 y=1


2=(x-1)^1


x-1=2


x=3

This is what I've done so far but does anyone know what I do next or did I make a mistake
grigory [225]
Remmeber, you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides

for inequalities, if you multiply or divide both sides by a negive, flip the direction of the inequality sign

pemdas always applies
but also the commutative property and assiociative property

so
2(5y+13)-6<20
add 6 both sides
2(5y+13)<26
divide both sides by 2 (easier that distributing)
5y+13<13
minus 13 both sides
5y<0
y<0 is the solution

How can i find the area of this triangle?
Ivanshal [37]
To find the area of a triangle, multiply the base by the height, and then divide by 2. The division by 2 comes from the fact that a parallelogram can be divided into 2 triangles. For example, in the diagram to the left, the area of each triangle is equal to one-half the area of the parallelogram.
