Answer:
The height of the tree is
18.67
feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Explanation:
The pole and the tree both cast shadows. The triangles which form are similar triangles, because the sun is shining from the same angle in the sky.
You can write this as a direct proportion. (height : shadow)

Answer:
Adjust the compasses' width to the point Q. The compasses' width is now equal to the length of the line segment PQ.
Step-by-step explanation:
Start with a line segment PQ that we will copy. Mark a point R that will be one endpoint of the new line segment. Set the compasses' point on the point P of the line segment to be copied. Adjust the compasses' width to the point Q. The compasses' width is now equal to the length of the line segment PQ.
4x-10 and 7x-8 are supplementary angles and thus add up to 180 degrees.
Thus, 11x - 18 = 180 degrees.
Combining like terms, 11x = 198, and x = 18.
The two supplementary angles are 4(18)-10 and 7(18)-8, or 62 and 118 degrees.
