Answer:
15. 17.5 ft
16. XZY ~ RPQ only
Step-by-step explanation:
15. The figure shows you the height of the object is 5/6 the length of its shadow. Then the height of the tree will be (5/6)·21 ft = 17 1/2 ft.

16. Triangles are similar when they have all the same angles. In the given triangles, you have ...
angle X = angle R = 32° . . . . (no corresponding angle in the third triangle)
angle Z = angle P = 64°
angle Y = angle Q = 84°
The triangle vertices need to be named in the order in which they correspond, so we can say, for example, ...
triangle XZY ~ triangle RPQ
Hello there!
5d = 17.1
The equation is asking you to find the value for "d". How to do that? Well, all you have to do is divide both side by 5.
5d/5 = 17.1
d = 3.42
That's your answer!
You can even double check your work, if you want to. How? Well, you just need to replace 3.42 where it belongs.
5(3.42) = 17.1
17.1 = 17.1
True!
Let me know if you have additional questions. As always, it is my pleasure to help students like you!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We have:
And we want to find the value of x such that the expression is positive. So, we can write this as the following inequality:
Solve for the inequality. First, we can solve for the zeros like a normal quadratic. So, pretend the inequality is with an equal sign:
Zero Product Property:
On the left, subtract 5.
On the right, add 1.
So, our zeros are:
Since our inequality is a <em>greater than</em>, our answer is an "or" inequality with our answer being all the values to the <em>left</em> of our lesser zero and all the values to the <em>right </em>of our greater zero.
So, our solution is:
And we're done!
