Answer:

The answer to your question is   Tree's height = 26.8 ft  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Person                         Tree

height = 6 ft                 height = x

shadow = 8.5 ft            shadow = 38 ft

Process

1.- Use the Thales' theorem to solve this problem

   Person's height/ Person's shadow = Tree´s height / Tree's shadow

Solve for Tree's height

   Tree's height = Person's height x Tree's shadow / Person's shadow

Substitution

   Tree's height = 6 x 38 / 8.5

Simplification

   Tree's height = 228 / 8.5

Result

    Tree's height = 26.8 ft

Solve the equation by completing the square. Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary. x^2+2x=17
Dahasolnce [82]
We have that
x²<span>+2x=17
</span><span>Group terms that contain the same variable
</span>(x²+2x)=17
<span>Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation
</span>(x²+2x+1)=17+1

Rewrite as perfect squares

(x+1)²=18

x+1=(+/-)√18

x=(+/-)√18-1

x1=√18-1----> 3.24

x2=-√18-1----> -5.24


the answer is

How can this quadrilateral be classified?
horsena [70]

Answer:

This quadrilateral has <u>  2 pairs </u> of parallel sides. Therefore, this quadrilateral is a <u>  parallelogram  </u>

===========================================

Explanation:

The arrow markers on the segments tell us which sides are parallel to one another. The single arrow segments are one parallel pair, while the double arrow segments are the other parallel pair.

By definition, a parallelogram has two pairs of opposite sides that are parallel. If only one pair of opposite sides were parallel, then we'd be dealing with a trapezoid. A square is special type of parallelogram in which all four sides are the same length, and all four angles are the same measure (all four angles are 90 degrees).
