Answer: 36 feet


Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the height of tree

From the question, we can see there is a directly proportional relationship.

therefore, \frac{\text{height of Jason's eye}}{\text{distance of mirror from Jason}}=\frac{\text{height of tree}}{\text{distance of tree from mirrror}}\\\\\Rightarrow\frac{6}{7}=\frac{x}{42}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\frac{42\times6}{7}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=36\ feet

Hence, The height of the tree= 36 feet

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Chad had 15 dollars left for gift C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Chad had total amount = 30 dollars.

Amount spend on gift A = 9 dollars.

Amount spend on gift B = 6 dollars.

To Find:

Amount Left for gift C = ?

Solution:

Total Amount = 30 dollars.

Total number of gifts = 3 i .e Gift A, Gift B , Gift C.

Total amount spend for  Gift A and Gift B = Amount spend on gift A + Amount spend on gift B

∴ Total amount spend for  Gift A and Gift B = 9 + 6

∴ Total amount spend for  Gift A and Gift B = 15 dollars.

Now,

Amount Left for Gift C = Total Amount - Total amount spend for  Gift A and Gift B.

∴ Amount Left for Gift C = 30 - 15

∴ Amount Left for Gift C =  15 dollars
