If a 40​-foot tree casts a 12​-foot ​shadow, find the length of the shadow cast by a 26 dash foot tree?

Mathematics

Answer:

7.8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The  shadow, the ground and the  distance between the top of the tree and end of the shadow form 2 right-angled triangles which are similar.

So corresponding sides are in the same ratio. Therefore:-

40 / 12 = 26/x   where x is the length of shadow cast by the smaller tree.

40x = 12*26

x = (12*26) / 40

= 7.8 feet

Carmen simplifies the expression (4 y 8 x 6) 25 (4 x 6 y 7). The coefficient of the variable y in her simplified answer is 4. 6.
Sever21 [200]

Carmen simplifies the expression and gets the coefficient of y is 10. Thus, the correct option is C.

<h3>What is simplification?</h3>

Simplification is to make something easier to do or understand and to make something less complicated.

Given

Carmen simplifies the expression \rm (4 y + 8 x + 6) + 25 + (4 x  +6 y +7).

We can add x term with x, y term with y, and constant with constant.

On simplifying, we have

\rm (4 y + 8 x + 6) + 25 + (4 x  +6 y +7)\\\\12x + 10y + 38

Thus, the coefficeint of y is 10.

More about the simplification link is given below.
