This problem is about ratios.

\frac{height}{shadow} = \frac{5ft \:}{11ft} = \frac{x}{110}

Solve for X

x = \frac{5 \times 110}{11} = 50ft

The tree is 50ft tall.

Answer:

55.5 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

so the dog house consists of 4 walls, two roof sections, and two triangle bits to make the roof pointy (I'm sure they have a name but I don't know what it is lol) Of the walls there would be 2 of the longer walls and 2 of the shorther ones. Knowing this we just have to add together the area of each part to find the total surface area.

So starting with the walls:

two of them are 4 feet by 2 feet.

The area of a rectangle is just length x width

so those two would have an area of 8 ft^2

and the other two are 3 feet by 2 feet so they would have an area of 6 ft^2

the roof sections are also rectangles with dimensions of 4 feet by 2.5 feet

4x2.5=10 so each side of the roof has a surface area of 10 ft^2

now the triangle parts have a base of 3 feet and a height of 2.5 feet

the formula for area of a triangle is base x height / 2

3x2.5=7.5

7.5/2= 3.75

now we add them together

8+8+6+6+10+10+3.75+3.75=55.5

so the total surface area is 55.5 square ft

3x + 5y - x + 2y =

3x - x + 5y + 2y =

(3 - 1)x + (5 + 2)y =

2x + 7y

_________________________________

3g + 5h + 4g - 2h =

3g + 4g + 5h - 2h =

(3 + 4)g + (5 - 2)h =

nikitadnepr [17]
V=LWH
W=2
120=V
120=L2H
divide by 2
60=LH

SA
2 pairs of same sides
1 bottom

SA=2(LH+WH)+LW
we know that W=2 so
SA=2(LH+2H)+2L
exanded
SA=2LH+4H+2L

we need to solve for 1 variable to eliminate it
60=LH
divide both sides by L
60/L=H
sub 60/L for H

SA=2L(60/L)+4(60/L)+2L
SA=2(60)+(240/L)+2L
SA=120+(240/L)+2L
SA=184
184=120+(240/L)+2L
multiply both sides by L
184L=120L+240+2L²
minus 184L both sides
0=2L²-64L+240
factor
0=2(L²-32L+120)
use quadratic formula
L=16-2√34 or 16+2√34

the dimentions are (aprox)
Legnth=4.3381, Width=2, Height=13.831 or
Legnth=27.6619, Width=2, Height=2.1691
