The triangle that is formed from by connecting the shadow, the tree and the endpoints of each is a right triangle. The two triangles formed (by the tree and its shadow, and by Rachel and her shadow) are similar. In similar triangles, the corresponding sides are proportional. Thus, to give the numerical answer to this item,
                         length  of the tree/14 ft = 6 ft / 3.5 ft
                                  length of the tree = 24 ft

Which of these ordered triples indicates where the plane cuts the x-axis for this equation? 3x + 4y + 6z = 12
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is 3x + 4y + 6z = 12

We have to find ordered triplet which indicate where the plane cuts the x-axis.

To find x-coordinate where plane cuts the x-axis we put y and z equal to 0.

3x + 4 × 0 + 6 × 0 = 12

3x + 0 + 0 = 12

3x = 12

x = 4

So, the coordinate where  it cuts x-axis is ( 4 , 0 , 0 )

Therefore, Option A is correct.
