Answer:

24 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I used the proportion method to set up the numbers. I used x for the height of the tree.

x/45 = 6/11.25

Notice that the x and the 6 are both the heights of the tree and Dimitri and that they are both on the top of the fractions.

45 and 11.25 are the lengths of the shadows and they are both on the bottom of the fractions.

Next, I did 6 times 45 and got 270. Then I did 270 divided by 11.25 and got 24.

You're welcome!     :)

Answer:

24 ft  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h = the height of the tree.

The two triangles are similar, so

h/45 = 6/11.25     Multiply each side by 45

      h = 24 ft

2+d=2-3(d-5)-2 Pls show work
defon
2 + d = 2 - 3(d- 5) - 2

First, cancel 2 on both sides. / Your problem should look like: d = -3(d - 5) - 2
Second, expand. / Your problem should look like: d = -3d + 15 - 2
Third, simplify -3d + 15 - 2 to get -3d + 13. / Your problem should look like: d = -3d + 13
Fourth, add 3d to both sides. / Your problem should look like: d + 3d = 13
Fifth, add d + 3d to get 4d. / Your problem should look like: 4d = 13
Sixth, divide both sides by 4. / Your problem should look like: d =  \frac{13}{4}

Answer as fraction: d =  \frac{13}{4}
Answer as decimal: d = 3.25

Suppose a population of deer in the state is 10, 289 and is growing 1% each year. Predict the population after 5 years
eimsori [14]

Answer: the population after 5 years is 10814

Step-by-step explanation:

The population growth of the deer is exponential. We would apply the formula for determining exponential growth which is expressed as

A = P(1 + r)^t

Where

A represents the population after t years.

n represents the period of growth

t represents the number of years.

P represents the initial population.

r represents rate of growth.

From the information given,

P = 10289

r = 1% = 1/100 = 0.01,

t = 5 years

Therefore,

A = 10289(1 + 0.01)^5

A = 10289(1.01)^5

A = 10814
