Given that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection, we can state tha the angle formed by the eyes of Jason with the mirror is equal to the angle formeb by the top of the three with the same mirror.

Then, you can write this similarity equation:

[height of the eyes of Jason] / [distance from the poistion of Jason to the image on the mirror] = [height of the tree / distance from the mirror to the base of the tree]

6feet / 8feet = x/40feet

x = 40feet *[6/8] = 30 feet.

Answer: 30 feet.

A rectangle has a length of x inches and a width 2 inches less than the length. If the dimensions were tripled what would be the
vagabundo [1.1K]
Originally we have
length = x
width = x-2
since the width is 2 inches smaller than the length

now let's triple each dimension. Multiply the expressions by 3 to get
new length = 3*x
new width = 3*(x-2) = 3x-6

Now onto the area
area = (length)*(width)
area = (3x)*(3x-6)
area = 3x*3x-3x*6
area = 9x^2 - 18x

So the new larger rectangle has area of 9x^2-18x

Consider the characteristics of the graph. Which statement DOES NOT describe the data set?
serg [7]
A, the interquartile range is 10, does not fit.

The interquartile range is found by subtracting the upper quartile and the lower quartile; in a box-and-whisker plot these are the outer edges of the box.  In this case, they are 40 and 20; 40-20 = 20, not 10.
