Answer:

Height of tree = 15 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of shadow (Base) = 8 ft

Length from the tip to top of the tree (Hypotenues) = 17 ft

Find:

Height of tree = ?

Computation:

Using Pythagoras theorem:

Height\ of\ tree = \sqrt{Hypotenues^2 - base^2} \\\\Height\ of\ tree = \sqrt{17^2 - 8^2} \\\\Height\ of\ tree = \sqrt{289-64}\\\\Height\ of\ tree = \sqrt{225}\\\\ Height\ of\ tree =15

Height of tree = 15 ft

Highest grade: 86

Lowest grade: 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the highest grade be h, lowest grade be l.

h = 50 + l  \\  \\ h + l = 122 \\ h = 122 - l \\  \\

Therefore,

122 - l \:  = 50 + l \\ 2l \:  = 72 \\ l = 36 \\  \\ h = 36 + 50 = 86
