The height of the statue is of 35 feet, applying similarity of triangles.
<h3>What are similar triangles?</h3>
Similar triangles are triangles that have congruent angle measures, thus the measures of their side lengths are proportional. This relation can be proven from the law of sines.
In the context of this problem, there are two similar right triangles, in which:
- Minh's height of 5 feet is proportional to the statue's height of x.
- The base formed by Minh's height, of 12 ft, is proportional to the base formed by the statue's height, of 84 ft.
Hence the following proportional relationship is established:
5/x = 12/84
Applying cross multiplication, it is found that:
12x = 84 x 5
Simplifying by 12, the expression is written as follows:
x = 7 x 5 (as 84/12 = 7).
x = 35 feet, which is the height of the statue.

D. It is non-linear because the output values are increasing at different rates
$300 because 300x2=600 then 75x8=300 and 600+300=900
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:a
Answer:
The correct option is;
B. a. Whole number b. Irrational number
Step-by-step explanation:
The height, h of the equilateral triangle = 3·√2·s
The item by which equilateral triangle is made = 2-inch toothpicks
Therefore, we have;
The sides of the equilateral triangle = Comprises multiples of 2 inches
Therefore, the sides of the equilateral triangle is a whole number
The height of the triangle is the product of the side and (√3)/2
Therefore, the height of the triangle is an irrational number
The correct option is A. a. Whole number b. Irrational number.
A whole number are the positive counting numbers, 0, 1, 2, ..., while an integer includes negative numbers which is not possible for a real triangle.
