We use the proportion for this case the pole and the tree with their shadows has the same shape forming a right triangle.
We use the ratio of the two triangles and equate them as

h1/s1 = h2/s2

where
h1 and s1 are the height and the length of a shadow of the pole,
and the other h2 and s2 are for the tree

Identify all the given values.
5 ft / 2 ft = (h2) / 10 ft
h2 = 25 ft
Therefore the height of the tree "h2" is 25 ft.

My name is Ann [436]

We know that functions are mathematical entities that assign unique outputs to given inputs. In other words, a function can't have repeated values in the input repeated x-value.

For example consider the relation {(1,4), (1,5), (2,6), (3,7), (4,8), (5,9)}.

We see that above relation has repeated x-value "1" which is assigned to two different output values 4 and 5. So by definition of function, above relation can't be a function.

d) r = -65.

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value of r represents the relationship strength and the sign represents the relationship direction

Also if the relationship is nearest to 1 then it would be termed as positive correlated and if the relationship is nearest to -1 then it would be termed as negative correlated

Therefore based on the given options, the last option is correct
