Answer:

The correct option is A. The height of tree is 60 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given figure it is noticed that the building is creating a right angle triangle from a point and the tree divides the hypotenuse and base in two equal part.

According to midpoint theorem of triangle: In a triangle, if a line segment connecting the midpoints of two sides, then the line is parallel to third side. The length of line segment is half of the length of third side.

Using midpoint theorem of triangle, we can say that the length of tree is half of the building.

$Tree=\frac{1}{2}\times Building$

$Tree=\frac{1}{2}\times 120$

$Tree=60$

Therefore correct option is A. The height of tree is 60 ft.

Given the formula A = 5h (B + b); solve for B.<br> 2

stellarik [79]

Answer:

B = A/5h - b; You could use

B = (A - 5hb)/5h This just puts everything over a common denominator.

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 5h (B + b) Divide both sides by 5h

A/5h = B + b Subtract b from both sides.

A/5h - b = B

How do I solve this?

pishuonlain [190]

Good morning! So, what this question wants us to do is find each y value given its x value. Without the function it gives us already, this would be pretty difficult.
It gives us a function rule of y=2x+3. This means that we need to plug in each x value into the equation and solve for y. Let’s work on these first three.

y=2x+3} x=-4
y=2(-4)+3
y=-8+3
y=-5
So, if x=-4, then y=-5.

y=2x+3} x=-2
y=2(-2)+3
y=-4+3
y=-1
So, if x=-4, then y=-1.

y=2x+3} x=0
y=2(0)+3
y=0+3
y=3
So, if x=0, then y=3.

Try out the last one, and if you have any questions, comment below! Here are some extra x values if you need more practice.
Using the same function rule, y=2x+3, try to find the y value if x=-6, x=-3, x=5, or x=6.
