Ratio of height of the man to the length of the shadow = 6:9 = 2:3
Ratio of height of the tree to the length of its shadow = x:25 = 2:3
x/25 = 2/3
x = (25 x 2)/3 = 50/3 = 16.67

Therefore the approximate height of the tree to the nearest foot is 17 feet.

The question ask to calculate and find the approximate height of the tree to the nearest foot if it has cast a shadow of 25feet and the man also cast a shadow near it at a height of 6 foot. So base on that fact, I came up with an answer of approximately 17 feet. I hope you are satisfied with my answer

Find the value of x.
Irina-Kira [14]
The 2 angles are complementary angles and need to equal 90 degrees.

Making an equation we have:

4x-10 + x = 90 degrees

Add like tems:
4x +x = 5x

Now we have:
5x-10 = 90

Add 10 to both sides:

5x = 100

Divide both sides by 5:

x = 100/5

X = 20

Find the measurement of either the leg or the hypotenuse: A = B = 21 C =<br> 35
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer: x = 40.81 or 41

Step-by-step explanation:

A = B = 21

C = 35

Hypotenuse = x

Calculating Hypotenuse:

21^2 + 35^2 = x^2

=> 441 + 1225 = x^2

=> x^2 = 1666

=> x = 40.81 or 41

What is the measure of each angle? Show your work!
nalin [4]

Answer:

pos: 99.  Sor: 17.    roq: 64

Step-by-step explanation:

(5x+4)+(x-2)+(3x+7)=180

we add the angles to 180 because straight lines are equal to 180

5x+4+x-2+3x+7=180

5x+x+3x+4-2+7=180

9x+9=180

9x=

9x=171

x=19

then we plug x in

5(19)+4 +  (19)-2  +3(19)+7 = 180

angles (left right)

99.   17.     64.
