Use the property of similarity of triangles =》the corresponding sides of a triangle should be in the same ratio.
Take the missing side as 'x'.
The corresponding sides here are,
■ 7 & 14 ft
■ 5 & x ft
7/14 = 5/x
7x = 5 × 14 (cross multiplication)
7x = 70
x = 70/7
x = 10 ft
Height of the tree = 10 ft.

Hope it helps ⚜
X + x + 3(2+x)= 36
2x + 6 + 3x = 36
5x + 6 = 36
5x = 36 - 6
5x = 30
x = 6
Longer piece = 2 + 6 = 8inches
Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
The distributive property states that a(b+c) = ab+ac. Working out the first equation, we see that 3(y+1) is 3y+3. Because the second equation is 3y+3, they are also equal.
2x+4y=0
3x+y=10
So what we want to do is get y onto one side by itself using whatever equation you like.
So I'm taking 2x+4y=0 and subtracting 4y from both sides
So we end up with
2x=4y
Divide both sides by four
2/4x is 1/2 x
So we get 1/2x=y
Take this and plug it into the other equation
3x+y=10
3x+1/2x=10
Add your like terms
3 1/2x=10
Putting 3 1/2 as a mixed number we get 7/2
So..
7/2x=10
Multiply by the opposite of 7/2 on both sides
Which is 2/7 this will cancel out the left side.
So we end up with
X= 10•2/7
X=20/7
Which is 2 and 6/7 as a mixed number.
