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

<h3>Linear equations</h3>

Linear equation are expression that has a leading degree of 1.

Let the price of each DVD be x such that if Grace bought a television for $329 and some DVDs for $5.75 each  and spent a total of $363.50, ten;

329 + 5.75x = 363.5

Subtract 329 from both sides

329 + 5.75x - 329 = 363.5 - 329

5.75x = 34.5

x = 34.5/5.75

x = 6

This shows that the total number of DVDs that she bough is 6
