Answer:
The height of the tree is
18.67
feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Explanation:
The pole and the tree both cast shadows. The triangles which form are similar triangles, because the sun is shining from the same angle in the sky.
You can write this as a direct proportion. (height : shadow)

The answer is option C:
<span>A line of symmetry will connect a vertex and a midpoint of an opposite side.
It has 7-fold symmetry.</span>
Perform indicated multiplication on left side first...
-5x-35<-10 add 35 to both sides
-5x<25 divide both sides by -5 (you must reverse sign because of division by a negative value too!)
x>5 or if you prefer...
x=(5, +oo)
Answer:
C and D
Step-by-step explanation:
Equating the line A and the parabola, we get
-3x + 2 = x² - 3x + 4
0 = x² - 3x + 4 +3x - 2
0 = x² + 2
-2 = x²
which has no real solutions. Then, the line A and the parabola don't intersect each other.
Equating the line B and the parabola, we get
-3x + 3 = x² - 3x + 4
0 = x² - 3x + 4 + 3x - 3
0 = x² + 1
-1 = x²
which has no real solutions. Then, the line B and the parabola don't intersect each other.
Equating the line C and the parabola, we get
-3x + 5 = x² - 3x + 4
0 = x² - 3x + 4 + 3x - 5
0 = x² - 1
1 = x²
√1 = x
which has 2 solutions, x = 1 and x = -1. Then, the line C and the parabola intersect each other.
Equating the line D and the parabola, we get
-3x + 6 = x² - 3x + 4
0 = x² - 3x + 4 + 3x - 6
0 = x² - 2
2 = x²
√2 = x
which has 2 solutions, x ≈ 1.41 and x ≈ -1.41. Then, the line D and the parabola intersect each other.
