Answer:

30 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a problem of similar triangles.

         | \

         |    \

         |      \

     h  |        \

         |          \

         |         5|\

         |           | 4\

          <----24---->

      tree     man

The height of the man is 5 ft.

The shadow of the tree is 24 ft.

The shadow of the man is 4 ft.

We have similar triangles, so the lengths of their sides are proportional.

h/24 = 5/4

Cross multiply.

4h = 24 * 5

Divide both sides by 4.

h = 6 * 5

h = 30

Answer: 30 ft

Answer:

.

Step-by-step explanation:

a.) 72 ÷ 8 × 9 = 81 (we divide 72 by 8 first then multiply the result with 9)

b.) -72 ÷ 8 × 9 = -81 (it's same with a only differ by negative sign)

c.) 72 ÷ (-8) × 9 = -81 (dividing 72 by -8 will give us -9 and multiplying -9 by -9 will give the result of -81)

d.) 72 ÷ 8 × (-9) = -81 (divide 72 by 8 and it will be 9, mutliply it by -9 and again it will give -81)

e.) -72 ÷ 8 × (-9) = 81 (divide -72 by 8 and it will be -9 multiplying it by -9 will give a positive 81 since two negative signed numbers multiplied or divided gives positive result)
