Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
you have similar triangles here
so 2 is to 4 as 4 is to x
2/4 = 4/x
x = 8
2/3 < 3/4. Hope that helps
Answer:
52.8 feets
Step-by-step explanation:
From the diagram :
The height of tree woulb be :
Height above the ground (at breakpoint) + hypotenus
Hypotenus, h cab be obtained using Pythagoras rule :
h² = opp² + adj²
h² = 39² + 12²
h² = 1665
h = sqrt(1665)
h = 40.804 feets
Height of tree to the nearest tenth ;
40.804 feets + 12 feets
= 52.804 feets
= 52.8 feets
