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

Which equation describes this line?
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

The equation of line with given points is  y - 4 = 3 ( x + 2 ) .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The points of line are ( 1 , 13 )   and    ( - 2 , 4 )

The point slope intercept equation of line is

y - y_1 = m ( x -  x_1 )

Where m is the slope of line

So , Slope , m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

Or, m =  \frac{4 - 13}{ - 2 - 1}

Or, m =  \frac{ - 9}{ - 3}

∴    m = 3

Now The equation of line is

y - y_1 = m ( x -  x_1 )

Or. y - 13 = 3 ( x -  1 )

Or, y - 13 = 3 x - 3

Or, y = 3 x - 3 + 13

∴   y = 3 x + 10

I.e y - 4 = 3 x + 6

Or, y - 4 = 3 ( x + 2 )

Hence The equation of line with given points is  y - 4 = 3 ( x + 2 ) . Answer
