The tree is 25 feet tall. Given the height of the stick and the shadow it cast, the angle formed by the sun and the stick's height can be obtained by taking the Inverse Tangent of 3/5. This is equal to 30.93. This angle is equal to the angle formed by the sun and the tree's height. Using the tangent formula, Tan (30.93)=tree's shadow (15 ft)/ height of the tree, giving the answer 25 feet.

Answer:

The tree is 25 ft tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, at the same time the ratio of actual height and shadow is constant for every object.

Thus, we can write,

At the same time,

\frac{\text{Height of tree}}{\text{Length of its shadow}}=\frac{\text{Height of vertical stick}}{\text{length of its shadow}}

Given,

The vertical stick has a height of 5 ft and casts a shadow 3 ft long at the same time that a nearby tree casts a shadow 15 ft long,

Let h be the height of the tree,

\implies \frac{h}{15}=\frac{5}{3}

By cross multiplication,

3h=75

Dividing both sides by 3,

h=25

Hence, the tree is 25 ft tall.

Factor each of the following. Remember: It is the reverse of the distributive property and your first step is to find the greate
vaieri [72.5K]
To factor using the reverse of the distributive property, find what common factor the numbers have and what common factor the variables have.

10.

-8x - 16

8 is a factor of both -8 and 16.
The first term has x, but the second term does not, so there is no common variable. The only common factor is 8, or -8.

Factor out a -8:

-8x - 16 = -8(x + 2)

To see if the factorization is correct, multiply the answer using the distributive property. If you get the original expression, then the factorization is correct.

11.

w^2 - 4w

The first term only has a factor of 1. The second term has a 4. There is no common factor between 1 and 4 except for 1, so there is no number you can factor out. The first term has w^2. The second term has w. Both terms have a common factor of w. We can factor out w from both terms.

w^2 - 4w = w(w - 4)

12.

4s + 10rs

4 and 10 have a common factor of 2.
s and rs have a common factor of s.
2 times s is 2s, so the common factor is 2s.
We now factor out 2s

4s + 10rs = 2s(2 + 5r)
