What is the height of the tree in the image below? 10 points Wall 4 6 ft 24 O I foot O 36 foot None of the above
Zinaida [17]

16 ft

Explanation

Step 1

because the ligth comes in the same angle, we have 2 similar triangles .

so,as the triangles are similar,the ratio of the shorter leg to the bigger leg must be equal.

\begin{gathered} ratio=\frac{shorter\text{ leg}}{\text{bigger leg}} \\ ratio1=ratio2 \\ \frac{h}{24}=\frac{4}{6} \end{gathered}

Step 2

solve for h

\begin{gathered} \frac{h}{24}=\frac{4}{6} \\ \text{cross multiply} \\ 6\cdot h=4\cdot24 \\ 6h=96 \\ \text{divide boths} \\ \frac{6h}{6}=\frac{96}{6} \\ h=16 \end{gathered}

therefore, the heigth of the tree is 16 ft

Help me out friends
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

y = x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = 1, thus

y = x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (5, 3) into the partial equation

3 = 5 + c ⇒ c = 3 - 5 = - 2

y = x - 2 ← equation of line
