Remark
Make up a proportion that relates the tree and its properties to the stick and its properties.

Givens
Stick height (s_h) = 4
Stick shadow(s_s) = 2
Tree shadow = t_s = 18
Tree height = x

Formula
s_h / s_s = x / t_s

Substitute and solve.
4/2 = x / 18  Cross multiply
4*18 = 2 * x
72 = 2x        Divide by 2
72/2 = x       
x = 36

The height of the tree is 36 feet.

The sum of five consecutive integers is five. What is the product of the five integers?
nadya68 [22]

Answer:Let n = the smallest integer

Then the other integers are n+1, n+2, n+3 and n+4

Sum = n + n+1 + n+2 + n+3 + n+4 = 5n + 10 = 5(n + 2)

So the sum is always divisible by 5, for any value of n

Please help!!! I need someone to use some brain power
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

  • r = 4, s = 3, t = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Solving quadratic equation:</u>

  • 5x² - 8x + 5 = 0
  • x = (-b ± √b²-4ac)/2a
  • x = (8 ± √8²-4*5*5)/2*5
  • x = (8 ± √64-100)/10
  • x = (8 ±√-36)/10
  • x = (8 ± 6i)/10
  • x = (4 ± 3i)/5

x = (r ± si)/t

r = 4, s = 3, t = 5
