Answer:

8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, a 3 ft tree casts a 10 ft. shadow.  It means that 1 ft long shadow will cast by \dfrac{3}{10} feet long tree.

Let 26 ft tall tree will cast x feet long shadow. To find it using unitary method we get :

x=\dfrac{3}{10}\times 26\\\\x=7.8\ \text{feet}

or

x = 8 feet

So, 8 feet long is the shadow of a 26 feet tall tree.

kupik [55]

Answer:

y > 6 or y < -3

Step-by-step explanation:

y² - 3y > 18

Complete the square.

y² - 3y + 9/4 > 18 + 9/4

y² - 3y + 9/4 > 81/4

(y - 3/2)² > 81/4

y - 3/2 > 9/2, or y - 3/2 < -9/2

y > 6 or y < -3

The statements below can be used to prove that the triangles are similar. ? △ABC ~ △XYZ by the SSS similarity theorem. Which mat
Vsevolod [243]

Solution:

It is given that two triangles Δ ABC and Δ X Y Z are similar by Side -Side - Side(SSS)  Similarity theorem.

So, the Statement which is given, that is →→∠B ≅ ∠Y and ∠B ≅ ∠Z, is inadequate for similarity criterion by SSS, as these statement are about angles of Triangles,not sides, which can't be true.

So, if the two triangles are Similar by SSS criterion , then the appropriate mathematical statement must be,

⇒\frac{AB}{XY}=\frac{BC}{ZY}=\frac{AC}{XZ}
