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!!

The graphs of functions f(x) and g(x) = f(x) + k are shown:
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

9514 1404 393

Step-by-step explanation:

 k = 2

The point (0, 0) on the graph of f(x) tells you f (0) = 0.

The point (-4, 0) on the graph of g(x) tells you g (-2) = 0.

Now we know that

 g(-2) = 0 = f(0) = f(-2+k)

or ...

 0 = -2+k

 2 = k

The value of k is 2

so the answer to you problem is k=2

Find the value of x for which m is parallel to n <br> A) 10<br> B) 12<br> C) 40<br> D) 52
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:  x=5\textdegree

Explanation:

Since we have given that

line m and line n are parallel to each other,

So,

Corresponding angles are equal , as shown in the figure ,

According to question,

19x\textdegree=180\textdegree-17x\textdegree\\\\19x\textdegree+17x\textdegree=180\\\\36x\textdegree=180\textdegree\\\\x=\frac{180}{36}\\\\x=5\textdegree

Hence, x=5\textdegree

Beatriz is reading a book tgat has 530 pages. If she reads 10 pages a day, how many days will it take her to finish the book?
Art [367]
The equation you want to use is this:

10x = 530                             10 pages for x days

x = 530/10                            
530 pages divided by 10 pages

So the answer is,

53 days
