Proportion:- 

 27       4.5
------ =  -------
  x          5

x = height of tree.

4.5 · x = 27 · 5
4.5 · x = 135

135 ÷ 4.5 = 30 

SO,

x = 30

The tree is 30 ft long.

Hope i helped ya!!

adelina 88 [10]
Things to remember the sum of the measures of the interior and exterior angles at each vertex is 180 (supplementary angles) add and equal to 180 3x-5+5x+17= 180 8x+12=180 8x= 168 x=21 substitute in the algebraic expression for exterior angle 3(21) -5= 63-5=58 58 degrees is the exterior angle hope this helps

given the equation y = 2x - 8, find the ordered-pair solution when x = 4 and the ordered-pair solution when y = 4
babunello [35]

Answer:

When x = 4, (4, 0)

When y = 4, (6, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the ordered-pair solution when x = 4, plug 4 into the x of the equation.

y = 2x - 8

y = 2(4) - 8

y = 8 - 8

y = 0

This produces the ordered pair (4, 0).

To find the ordered-pair solution when y = 4, plug 4 into the y of the equation.

y = 2x - 8

4 = 2x - 8

12 = 2x

6 = x

x = 6

This produces the ordered pair (6, 4).
