Answer:
<em>The distance from the flagpole to the tree is 27 ft</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Similar Triangles</u>
Since the elevation angle from which the trees cast their shadows has the same measure and given the tree and the flagpole and the ground form right angles, both triangles are similar.
Similar triangles have their corresponding side lengths proportional. The ratio between the distances from the bench to the tree and flagpole and their heights is constant, i.e.:
Where x is the distance from the bench to the tree.
Solving for x:
x = 45 feet
Thus the distance from the flagpole to the tree is 45 - 18 = 27 feet
B is the answer I think I spend to much
Since the triangle is equilateral, all its angles are equal to 60°
AO is the bisector⇒∠OAD = 30°
AO AO is the hypotenuse, ∠OAD = 30°⇒
OD=10:2=5ft
By the Pythagorean theorem
Answer: A) 
ft²
P.S. Hello from Russia and sorry for my bad english :^)
Answer:
Therefore, Company B is offering the lowest price/lb at $12.73/lb.
So, Company A's price / lb = ($32.50/2.5lbs) = $13.00/lb
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine price per lb, divide dollar amount by lbs.
- Company A sells 2 1/2lbs (2.5lbs) for $32.50
- Company B sells 2 3/4lbs (2.75lbs) for $35.00
And, Company B's price / lb = ($35.00/2.75lbs) = $12.73/lb
