For the answer to the question above asking <span>Melissa is helping her dad build a walkway in their backyard. The walkway will be 545454 feet long and 1.51.51, point, 5 feet wide. The local hardware store sells tiles which are 1.51.51, point, 5 by 1.51.51, point, 5 feet and come in boxes of 121212.</span>
54 dived by 1.5 is 36.
36 dived by 12 is 3.
You need 3 boxes.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a question that uses the Pythagorean Theorem.
a = 35 feet
b = x which is the height of the tree.
c = 3*x + 1 so we are trying to find x. Substitute into a b and c
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
35^2 + x^2 = (3x + 1)^2
35^2 + x^2 = 9x^2 + 6x + 1 Subtract x^2 from both sides.
35^2 = 8x^2 + 6x + 1 Subtract 35^2 from both sides.
0 = 8x^2 + 6x + 1 - 35^2
0 = 8x^2 + 6x - 1224
Does this factor?
(x + 12.75)(x - 12)
x - 12 = 0 is the only value that works.
x = 12
The tree is 12 feet high.
Note: I used the quadratic formula to solve this.
