Answer:

15 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 2 similar right triangles with legs height and length of shadows.

height of men : length of shadows of the man = height of tree : length of shadows of the tree

5 : 8 = x : 24

8x = 5* 24

x = 5*24/8 = 15 (feet)

Svetradugi [14.3K]
I got this. Bottom of the triangle. that flat line is 180 degrees. you have an angle of 120, leaving an angle of 60. if you look at the top, that angle matches the other. so you have 65 degrees on one side, and 60 on the other. so 180-65-60=55. so X=55

You can first distribute the number into the parenthesis: 3n + 2 - 8n. Now, combine the like terms (n): -5n + 2. It can either be -5n + 2 or 2 - 5n.
