X - height of the tree.
A proportion is:
1/2 : x = 1 : 36
x = 36 * 1/2
x = 18
Answer. the tree is 18 feet tall.
Answer:2
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
<u>First situation</u>
when a ladder is leaning against a wall
Let
x-------> the distance of the bottom of the ladder from the wall
L-------> the length of the ladder
<u>Find the length of the ladder</u>
Applying the Pythagorean Theorem
------> equation 
Step 2
<u>Second situation</u>
when the ladder will be lying flat on the ground
<u>Find the length of the ladder</u>
In this situation the length of the ladder is equal to

square both sides
------> equation 
Step 3
equate equation
and equation 

therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
the length of the ladder is

D
is certainly wrong. You could extend the length of AD as far as you want and the two triangles (ABD and ACD) would still be congruent.
C
is wrong as well. The triangles might be similar, but they are more. They are congruent.
B
You don't have to prove that. It is given on the way the diagram is marked.
A
A is your answer. The two triangles are congruent by SAS
It would be negative 22 because if u dived 20 and 5 you will get negative 22 because I’m very smart if u think so give me a 5 out of 5
