Answer:

The tree is  6.36  meters tall.

Explanation:  Let AB is tree of height  h t = ?  and CD is Tonya  h g = 1.3  meter tall at  A C =  7 meters in front of tree . The shadow  C E = 1.8  meters long .  So two similar triangles are formed , one  Δ A E B and other  Δ C E D . So  A B C D = A E C E  or  h t h g = A E A C  or   h t h g = A C + C E  AC  or  h t  1.3 = 7 + 1.8 1.8  or  h t = 8.8 ⋅ 1.3 1.8 ≈ 6.36 ( 2 d p )m

The tree is  6.36  meter tall.

<span>Tammy rents an apartment close to her school campus. The equation that is given is this one:
r = 355m,
where r is the amount spend on the rent.
m is the number of months.

In order to get the constant proportionality of r to m in this relationship, then we can set a constant k variable.

r = 355 m (k)
k = 1 r / 355 m

1 hour spent, it takes you to spend 355.</span>

A pair of pants with a marked price of $35.00 has a discount of 20%. How much is the discount? Can someone help me learn to do p
andreyandreev [35.5K]
When you see a "%" you need to ask " a percent of what"?

Here, it's a percent of the original prize, so the discount is 20% of the original prize, that is 20% of 35.

20% is also 20/100 or 1/5, so we can calculate this like this:

\frac{1}{5} *35=7

so the discount is 7 dollars.
