Answer:

39.6 m

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached diagram.

Let AB is the height of the tree and CD is the height of the council arborist.

So, we have to determine AB while CD is given to be 1.8 m.

If the position of the sun at the time is such that the inclination of ray of light is x Degrees, then the shadow of the arborist is CE = 1.5 m and the shadow of the tree is AE = 33 m {Given}

As Δ ABE and Δ CDE are similar triangles, so, we can write

\frac{AB}{CD} = \frac{AE}{CE}

⇒ \frac{y }{1.8} = \frac{33}{1.5}

⇒ y = 39.6 m

Hence, the height of the tree is 39.6 m. (Answer)

What is the length of pr ? PLEASE HELP
Karolina [17]
The angles in the triangles are the same, so you know the triangles are similar. Sides PQ and AB correspond as do sides PR and AC. Because the triangles are similar, you know that
  PR/AC = PQ/AB
  PR/24 = 5/20
Multiplying this equation by 24 gives
  PR = 24*(5/20) = 6

The appropriate choice is ...

63 Jelly Beans

Step-by-step explanation:

The unknown is the number of jelly beans originally in the bag or x

First he had x jelly beans

The he ate one-third of them

\frac{1}{3}x

He then ate 16 more jelly beans

\frac{1}{3}x+16

This was equal to 37 jelly beans

\frac{1}{3}x+16=37

This is the equation

Now solve for x

Subtract 16 from both sides

\frac{1}{3}x=21

Multiply both sides by 3

x=63
