7: Triangle Similarity (Help, It would mean so much please & Thank you)

Mathematics

Answer: Question #1 The height of the tree is about 18 feet.

To solve this problem, you have to write a proportion using the similar triangles that are drawn. The height of the tree matches the height of the person and the shadows match.

Therefore, we can write and solve the following equation:

x/15 = 5.5/4.5
82.5 = 4.5x 
x = 18.33

wrote an equation for the line. passing through (-5,7) and parallel to the line whise equation is 5x-3y-4=0​
xeze [42]

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-3y-4=0---------(1)

Slope = - coefficient of X/ coefficient of y

= -5/(-3)

= 5/3

(x1,y1)= (-5,7)

Equation of the line,

Y-Y1= slope(X-X1)

Y-7= (5/3)×(X-(-5))

Y-7= (5x+25)/3

3y-7=5x+25

5x-3y+32=0 is the required eqn

Elvira is comparing prices between two different suppliers of fresh lettuce. Val’s Veggies charges $250 for delivery plus $1.50
ad-work [718]

Answer:

61 bags of lettuce

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's create two equations representing the cost of bags of lettuce:

Val's Veggies: 250 + 1.50x = V

Sally's Salads: 100 + 4.00x = S

If you buy 60 bags of lettuce from either store, the answers will be equivalent:

If x = 60

250 + 1.50x = V

250 + 90 = V

340 = V

100 + 4.00x = S

100 + 240 = S

340 = S

Now that both equations are equivalent, all we need to do to tip the balance and make Val's Veggies cheaper is purchase one more bag of lettuce:

x = 61

250 + 1.50x = V

250 + 91.50 = V

341.50 = V

100 + 4.00x = S

100 + 244 = S

344 = S

Since V represents the price of a bag of lettuce at Val's Veggies and V is now less than S (Sally's Salads), Val's Veggies is now the cheaper option.

Therefore, 61 bags of lettuce must be purchased in order for Val's Veggies to be the cheaper option.

What is the equation in point−slope form of the line passing through (−3, −4) and (0, 2)?
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

y = 2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope we do (Y1 - Y2)/(X1-X2) aka rise over run

So, m = (-4 - 2) / (-3 - 0)

m = 2

Now we have y = 2x +b

Notice one of our points is (0,2)

Since the x value of that point is 0, it is the y intercept.

In the slope intercept form b = y-intercept

Therefore b = 2

So, y = 2x + 2
