Answer:

Bird house is 20 ft. high.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the bird house is h feet high casts a shadow of 14 ft long.

My friend is 5 feet high and casts a shadow of 3.5 feet.

Now we see both the triangles Δ ABC and Δ XYZ are similar.

By the similar triangles theorem sides opposite to the corresponding angles will be in the same ratio.

\frac{5}{h}=\frac{3.5}{14} (from similar triangles ABC and XYZ)

h=\frac{14\times5}{3.5}=\frac{70}{3.5}=20 ft.

Therefore bird's house is 20 feet high.

You order plant seeds from a catalog. Each packet cost 0.90 each. The shipping charge is 2.50. If you have 18.50 to spend, how m
kramer
<h2>Answer:</h2>

17

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Cost per Packet * Number of Packets + Shipping =  Amount to Spend

0.90 * b + 2.50 = A

You can spend a maximum of $18.50

A < 18.50

Rearrange the formula to find b

Number of Packets  =  Amount to Spend - Shipping / Cost per Packet

18.50 - 2.50 = 16.00 / 0.9 = 17.7...

You can't have 0.7 of a packet so you have to round down to 17.

Now if you put it into the original formula:

0.90 * 17 + 2.50 = 17.80

And 17.80 is less than 18.50.
