A tree cast a shadow 15 feet long. At the same time, a 18 foot flag pole casts a shadow 10 feet long. How tall is the tree?

1 answer:

8 0

15 = x
18 = 10

15/18 = x/10

Cross Multiply:
15 × 10 = 150

150 ÷ 18 = 8.33

Answer = 8.33 ft tall

What value for C will make the expression a perfect square trinomial x2-7x+c

Tom [10]

Answer:

The value of c is 12.25

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A perfect square trinomial is of the form

$(x-a)^{2}=x^{2}-2ax+a^{2}$

In this problem we have

$x^{2}-7x+c$

equate the equations

$x^{2}-7x+c=x^{2}-2ax+a^{2}$

we have

the following equations

$-7x=-2ax$ -----> equation A

and

$c=a^{2}$ -----> equation B

Solve the equation A

$-7x=-2ax$

$7=2a$

$a=3.5$

Solve the equation B

$c=a^{2}$

$c=3.5^{2}=12.25$

therefore

$(x-3.5)^{2}=x^{2}-7x+12.25$

The value of c is 12.25
