Answer:
<em>Choice B. 16 feet.</em>
<em>The height of the tree is 16 ft</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Similar Triangles</u>
Similar triangles have their corresponding side lengths proportional by a fixed scale factor.
We are given the drawings of a tree and a wall and it's assumed both triangles are similar. We need to find the scale factor and find the height of the tree.
Comparing the corresponding distances from the viewer to the base of the tree and the base of the wall, we can calculate the scale factor as 24/6=4.
Applying the same factor to the height of the model, we get the height of the tree is 4*4 = 16 ft.
Choice B. 16 feet
The height of the tree is 16 ft
Answer:
1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
for every 1 part of water there is 3 parts juice so if there's only 1 part juice it would be a 1/3
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
We can set up equation for this one.
Let's say the number is X.
the sum of X and 14 can be expressed as : X+14
five times the sum of X and 14 can be expressed as 5(x+14)
and 5(X+14) = 80
The number is 2
Let x = the amount of time that the third person needs to work on the job to add up to one
1 = 1/2 + 1/3 + x
1 - 1/2 - 1/3 = x
To subtract the fractions we need to put them all over a common denominator. Let's use 3*2 = 6 as the denominator; so 1 = 6/6, 1/2 = 3/6, 1/3 = 2/6:
6/6 - 3/6 - 2/6 = x
1/6 = x
The third person must work 1/6 time on the project.
6+6
8+4
9+3
10+2
11+1
Hope this helps!
