Logan genetically engineered a new type of fir tree and a new type of pine tree. The combined height of one fir tree and one pin

e tree is 21 meters. The height of 4 fir trees stacked on top of each other is 24 meters taller than one pine tree. How tall are the types of trees that Logan genetically engineered?

Let f be the height of the fir trees
Let p be the height of the pine trees

We know from the problem that
f + p = 21  and 4f = 24 + p
rearrange the 2nd equation to get p = 4f - 24 and substitute into the other equation

so...
f + 4f - 24 = 21
5f - 24 = 21
5f = 45
f = 9 - height of the fir tree

substitute back into the 1st equation
9 + p = 21
p = 12 - height of the pine tree

Fill in the missing statement and reason in the proof of the Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem.
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

∠EGB and ∠AGF are congruent;

Transitive Property of Equality

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical angles theorem is about the angles that are opposite to each other. These angles are formed when two lines cross each other

Vertical angles are congruent i.e their measures are equal

Look at the attached graph

Given:

AB // CD

E , G , H , F are col-linear

The line which contains points E , G , H , F is a transversal for the parallel lines AB and CD

∵ AB and EF intersected at point G

∴ m∠EGB = m∠AGF ⇒ by the vertical angles theorem

When lines AB and EF intersected at G they formed opposite angles like angles EGB and AGF, then angles EGB and AGF are congruent (  vertical angle theorem)

∵ AB // CD and EF is a transversal

∴ m∠AGF = m∠CHF (corresponding angles theorem)

Transitive Property of Equality:  if one angle is equal to two other angles, then the two other angles are equal

 Therefore, If a = b and b = c, then a = c

∵ m∠EGB = m∠AGF

∵ m∠AGF = m∠CHF

∴ m∠EGB = m∠CHF (transitive property theorem)

 ∠EGB and ∠AGF are congruent; Transitive Property of Equality

3/7 = /12<br> How do I find the answer
guajiro [1.7K]
Cross multiply the denominators by the numerators. In other words, 12 times 3 and 7 times x (x, being our missing number).
We end up with 36 and 7x.
Divide both sides by 7.
36/7x = 5.14
x = 5.14
Hope this helps!
