<h2>Pine tree is 85 feet tall.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of Monica = 5 feet

Height of shadow of Monica = 2 feet

\frac{\texttt{Height of Monica}}{\texttt{Height of shadow of Monica}}=\frac{5}{2}=2.5

Height of shadow of pine tree = 34 feet

\frac{\texttt{Height of pine tree}}{\texttt{Height of shadow of pine tree}}=2.5\\\\\frac{\texttt{Height of pine tree}}{34}=2.5

Height of pine tree = 34 x 2.5 = 85 feet

Pine tree is 85 feet tall.

Suppose you want to solve the equation 2a+b=2a, where a and b are nonzero real numbers. describe the solution.
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

b=0       would appreciate brainliest

Step-by-step explanation:

Otherwise, no solution for this equation. You cannot isolate the variable a; its solution value can be anything, but you still find b=0.

2a+b=2a

b+2a=2a

b+2a-2a=2a-2a

b+0=0

b=0

1.   Which becomes 2(1) + 0 = 2(1)

2.    2 + 0 = 2 :

3.    2 = 2. Here we can observe the equality.

Consider a standard deck of 52 playing cards, a randomly selected card from the deck, and the following events: R = red, B = bla
Alika [10]

Answer:

Events D and C are mutually exclusive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two events D and C are mutually exclusive if

Pr(D\cup C)=Pr(D)+Pr(C)

Find these probabilities. In a standard deck of 52 playing cards there are 13 diamond cards and 13 club cards.

The probabilty of chosing diamond is

Pr(D)=\dfrac{13}{52}=\dfrac{1}{4}

The probabilty of chosing club is

Pr(C)=\dfrac{13}{52}=\dfrac{1}{4}

The probabilty of chosing diamond or club is

Pr(D\cup C)=\dfrac{13+13}{52}=\dfrac{1}{2}

Since

\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{4},

events D and C are mutually exclusive.

Which method would you use to prove that the two triangles are congruent?
Alona [7]

Answer:- AAS postulate


Explanation:-

  • AAS postulate tells that if two angles and a non-included side of a triangle to equal to the two angles and a non-included side of another triangle then the two triangles are said to be congruent.

Given:- One angle and one side of a triangle is equal to the one angle and one side of the other triangle.

We see there is one more pair of equal angles as they are vertically opposite angles . [See the attachment]

⇒ there is a triangle where two angles and a non-included side of a triangle to equal to the two angles and a non-included side of another triangle then the two triangles are said to be congruent.

⇒ The triangles are congruent [ by ASA postulate]

A jury pool consists of 50 potential jurors and how many ways can a jury of 12 be selected
bija089 [108]

Solution:

we are given that

A jury pool consists of 50 potential jurors.

Wee have been asked to find the number of ways can a jury of 12 be selected.

As we know from the concept of combination that r person can be selected out of n in ncr ways. where

n_C_r=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

Now substitute the values we get

{50}_C_{12}=\frac{50!}{12!(50-12)!}\\&#10;\\&#10;{50}_C_{12}=\frac{50!}{12!38!}\\&#10;\\&#10;{50}_C_{12}=121399651100\\

Hence the required number of ways is 121399651100
