9.75 ft

Since the triangles formed by the heights and shadows, the ratios of corresponding sides are equal.

the corresponding sides are the heights and the lengths of the shadows

let h be the height of the tree, then

\frac{h}{4.5} = \frac{26}{12} ( cross- multiply )

12h = 4.5 × 26 = 117 ( divide both sides by 12 )

h = 9.75

hence the height of the tree is 9.75 ft

Please answer !! what is the factorization of the trinomial below ?
Alex_Xolod [135]
Since we always want to have an a which equals 1 so then we don't have to do AC method, a longer process, we're going to want to take out the -1.

-1(x^2 - x - 42)

Then, we want to know what two number multiply to equal c (-42 here) and add up to equal b (-1 here). Those two numbers would be -7 and 6 since -7(6) = -42 and -7 + 6= -1.

So then from here we can just plop these numbers into (x+ __).

1(x-7)(x+6)

This is your final answer, A.
