Draw a diagram to illustrate problem as shown below.

Let h = the height of the tree.

Because ΔABC ~ ΔADE, therefore
DE/BC = AD/AB

That is,
h/1.94 = (5.1 + 10.2)/5.1 = 3
h = 1.94*3 = 5.82 m

Answer: 5.82 m

Graph the line with 3/4 slope<br> passing through the point (2,-2).
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

x1 = 2, y1 = -2 and m = 3/4

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-2) = 3/4(x - 2)

y + 2 = 3/4(x - 2)

Multiply each term by 4

4y + 8 = 3(x - 2)

4y + 8 = 3x - 6

4y = 3x - 6 - 8

4y = 3x - 14

I need help answering this question..​
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 15=7x-6

To solve this equation, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation algebraically. I see that we have like terms, but they are on opposite sides of the equal sign. Let's add 6 to both sides.

21=7x

To isolate x, divide both sides by 7.

x=3
