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
-5+6 = 1. This is the answer. Thank you
19. What you know is that HK+KJ = HJ. If HJ = 25, the sum of the two equations will equal this length.
x-5+5x-12=25 First, combine your like terms. You will end up with 6x-17=25. Add the opposite of -17 to both sides. 6x = 42 Divide both sides by 6. x = 7. Substitute x=7 for your original expression of x-5, 7-5=2
20. (5x-6)/2 = x+6 Multiply each side by 2. 5x-6 = 2x +12 Add 6 to each side 5x = 2x + 18 then subtract 2x from both sides as well. 3x = 18 Finally divide each side by 3. x=6 To find the length of the remaining segment, substitute this value into (5x-6)/2. This results in each side equaling a distance of 12.
21. On the number line, the distance of FG is 16 units. If the distance of FP is 1/4 of FG, you would simply divide 16 by 4. The distance of FP is 4 and P lies at 8 on your number line.
23. The distance of SP is x+4 and ST=4x. Since P is the midpoint, you only have one half of the line as x+4, if you were to double it, you would find that 2x+8 = 4x. Balance and solve for x, subtract 2x from both sides. 8=2x Divide each side by 4, 8/4 = 4x/4 resulting in x=2. If ST equals 4x, substitute and solve, 4(2) = 8
Answer:
231 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Tom rented a truck with a base fee of 19.95. You will subtract this from the total since you just want to get the mileage.
Tom is getting charged .85 cents per mile driven.
Tom payed 216.30 subtotal minus the 19.95 base fee since we are trying to only see how many miles he drove.
(216.30-19.95=196.35) This will be total for each mile. All we need to do is divide to get the total of miles
(196.35÷.85= 231)
231 is the number of miles Tom drove.
