To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

 1. You have the following information given in the problem above:

 - The<span> vertical pole is10 meters high and casts a shadow 8 meters long.
 - The tree casts a shadow 40 meters long. 

 2. Then, by similarity, you have:

 x/10=40/8
 8x=(10)(40)
 8x=400
 x=400/8
 x=50 meters

 3. Therefore, as you can see, the answer is: The height of the tree is 50 meters.</span>

Rectangles:
2 x 3 = 6 sq in.
2 x 4 = 8 sq in.
2 x 6 = 12 sq in.
Triangles: (since there are 2 you don't need to do 1/2 x base x height)
3 x 4 = 12 sq in.

Now add 6+8+12+12 = 38 sq in.

Solve: x^2 - 7x = -13
Reika [66]
There are a various of ways solve this expression. We can choose to do completing the square method or to use the quadratic formula. In this case, I will choose to do completing the square. We do as follows:

<span>x^2 - 7x = -13
</span><span>x^2 - 7x + 49/2= -13 + 49/2
(x - 7/2)^2= 23/2
</span>√[(x - 7/2)^2]= √(23/2)
x-7/2 = √46 / 2
x = √46 / 2 + 7/2

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
