We are supposed to assume ratio of similar triangles (since he is looking at mirror, angle of incendence=angle of reflection so all 3 angles are same and the triangles are similar)
use ratio
ratio of height of small triangle to base of small triangle=ratio of height of large triangle to base of large triangle
so6:2=h:246/2=h/243=h/24multiply both sides by 2472=hthe tree is 72ft tall
answer is D

Which expression is equivalent to 6m+(m-2)(m+7)+3

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

$m^{2}$ + 11m - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

6m+(m-2)(m+7)+3 = 6m + [ m*m - 14 -2m + 7m] + 3

= 6m + mm - 14 + 5m + 3

= mm + 11m - 11

6m+(m-2)(m+7)+3 = $m^{2}$ + 11m - 11

In doing this you can use the factoring method to do this faster. Start by dividing both sides by two to simplify the equation. X^2 now equals 100.

You can move 100 to the other side of the equation so that x^2-100=0. You can now factor and solve using the zero product property.

x^2-100=0
(x+10)(x-10) = 0
x equals 10 and -10.
