Mr. and Mrs. McClurrie are debating on whether or not to remove a tall tree in their front yard. Mr. McClurrie is concerned that

the tree could fall during a storm and land on their home. Mrs. McClurrie disagrees. She thinks the tree poses no danger to their home and wants to keep the tree because of the wonderful shade it provides. They decide to estimate the height of the tree using special right triangles. They stood 25 feet from the base of the tree to create a 30° angle from the ground to the top of the tree. If their home is 20 feet from the base of the tree, could the McClurrie's wait a few more years before cutting down the tree or does it pose a risk now?

Tanα=y/x

y=xtanα, we are told that x=25ft and α=30°

y=25tan30° ft

y≈14.43 ft  (to nearest hundredth of a foot)

Since their home is 20 feet from the base of the tree, it poses no risk right now.

To my knowledge, the answer should be there is no difference since I found the sum, however the answer is something else,
olga nikolaevna [1]
In the first series, the summation applies to the whole (2n+3) inside
the parentheses, so the 3 gets summed up 5 times.

But in the second one, the summation only applies to the 2n , so
the 3 is only added after the summation is finished.

The difference between five 3s the first time and one 3 the second time
is your 12 .

What else would need to be congruent to show that abc = xyz by asa
pochemuha
Since you're working with the ASA postulate, you're looking to show congruence of the angles at either end of a side. You're given side AC and angle A as congruent with their counterparts. Obviously, you also need to show congruence of angle C with its counterpart, angle Z.
