the height of the tree is 23 feet .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , Tony is 5.75 feet tall. Late one afternoon, his shadow was 8 feet long. At the same time, the shadow of a nearby tree was 32 feet long. We need to find Find the height of the tree. Let's find out:

According to question , Tony is 5.75 feet tall. Late one afternoon, his shadow was 8 feet long . Let the angle made between Tony height and his shadow be x . Now , At the same time, the shadow of a nearby tree was 32 feet long. Since the tree is nearby so tree will subtend equal angle of x. Let height of tree be y , So

⇒ Tanx=\frac{y}{32}

But , From tony scenario

⇒ Tanx=\frac{5.75}{8}

Equating both we get :

⇒ \frac{y}{32}  = \frac{5.75}{8}

⇒ y=\frac{5.75(32)}{8}

⇒ y=23ft

Therefore , the height of the tree is 23 feet .

Answer:

∠JKH and ∠GHF

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>hey there,</em>

<em />

< Corresponding means "the angles which occupy the same relative position at each intersection where a straight line crosses two others. If the two lines are parallel, the corresponding angles are equal." The lines here are parallel so they are equal.

If you don't understand the meaning of the angles also, feel free to ask me about that too.

The two angles I listed are equal to equal to each other. When you look at the other options, they aren't equal, they might look less or more degrees.

If this won't be a multiple choice but short answer, try looking at angles that look similar and see if they would be able to match with the angle given. >

<u>Hope this helps! Feel free to ask anything else.</u>

ollegr [7]

The cups of milk Laura gave to Maria is 19/12 cups is 19/12 cups

<h3>How to calculate fraction</h3>

  • Total cups of milk to share = 2 1/4 cups

  • Laura = x

  • Maria = 2/3 cups

Total = Laura + Maria

2 1/4 = x + 2/3

2 1/4 - 2/3 = x

9/4 - 2/3 = x

(27-8) / 12 = x

19/12 = x

= 1 7/12

Therefore, the cups of milk Laura gave to Maria is 19/12 cups
