PEMDAS
multiply 2 in the parentheses:
6x + 10 - 16 + 2
Combine like terms:
6x -4

Answer:
the value of a would be one, i think
4) They are congruent by ASA.
5) you can set up a proportion.
original height / shadow = original of tree/ shadow of tree
18/21 = x/14
21x = 252
x = 12
SO the height of the tree is 12
Hope this helps :)
Refer to the attached image. Since one vertex is the origin and the other two lay on the coordinate axes, the triangle is a right triangle. This means that, if we consider AB to the be base, AC is his height, and vice versa.
Anyway, it means that the area is given by

Since AB is a horizontal segment and AC is a vertical segment, their length is given by the absolute difference of the non-constant coordinate: points A and B share the same x coordinate, so we subtract the y coordinates:

The opposite goes for AC: points A and C share the same y coordinate, so we subtract the x coordinates:

So, the area is

Each corner angle of a square is 90 degrees.
This means every 90 degree rotation ( Counter clockwise) would move A to the next corner.
Since B is the corner below A, it would take a 90 degree rotation fr A to map on B.
