Set u a ratio of height over shadow:

Lance = 5 feet tall / 8 foot shadow

Tree = X feet tall / 32 foot shadow.

Set the ratios equal to each other and solve for X:

5/8 = x/32

Cross multiply:

8x = 160

Divide both sides by 8:

x = 160/8

x = 20

The tree is 20 feet tall.

Here are 2 right triangles.
Eva8 [605]

Answer

Part A: The right triangles are smiliar because If the lengths of the hypotenuse and a leg of a right triangle are proportional to the corresponding parts of another right triangle, then the triangles are similar.

Part B: 2z:2x or 2z/2x. You can write z/x as z:x. Then just multiply both sides by the same number to get an equivalent ratio. Let's multiply by 2. then the answer will be: 2z:2x or 2z/2x

Norma-Jean [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 40 DuBois students going on a field trip.

Each one pays their teacher $8.75 to cover admission to the museum and lunch.

Admission for the students is $120 and each one gets an equal amount to spend on lunch.

To Find :

How much will each DuBois student be able to spend on lunch.

Solution :

Amount they paid for admission :

\begin{gathered}P =\$ \dfrac{120}{40}\\\\P=\$3\end{gathered}P=$40120P=$3

Now, amount of money to spend on lunch is 8.75 -8.75−3 = $5.75 .

Hence, this is the required solution.
