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

Evelina took 50 people fishing each day last week. The table shows the number of fish the group caught each day.
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

152

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of fish caught is at a constant decreasing rate of 17. 203-186=17, 186-169=17, 169-17=152. So all you have to do is subtract the constant rate from the last known number.

Calculate and multiply to get
-4/(-6)+7 - 2x(-2)/-1x3+7

You'll get -4/-6+7 - 2x(-2)/4
Then calculate and reduce,
-4/1 - -2/2
Reduce and divide to get -4-(-1)
Remove parentheses, -4+1
And calculate to get your final answer
