The correct answer is a
(X+1)^2 - x^2=23
X^2 + 2x + 1 -x^2 =23
2x +1 =23
2x =22
X= 11

X+1= 12

George is 1.94 meters tall and wants to find the height of a tree in his yard. He started at the base of the tree and walked 10.
Free_Kalibri [48]
Draw a diagram to illustrate problem as shown below.

Let h = the height of the tree.

Because ΔABC ~ ΔADE, therefore
DE/BC = AD/AB

That is,
h/1.94 = (5.1 + 10.2)/5.1 = 3
h = 1.94*3 = 5.82 m

Answer: 5.82 m
