Explanation:

The correct answer is: The height of the tree is 8 feet (or <em>the tree is 8 feet tall</em>).

Explanation:

Please see the picture attached with the same.

Given Data:

Tree's shadow is 9 feet long.

Otis is 4 feet tall.

Otis' shadow is 4.5 feet long.

We need to find out how tall the tree is.

The ratios of both of their height and their shadows should be the same, as follows:

\frac{x}{4} = \frac{9}{4.5} \\x = \frac{9*4}{4.5}\\ x = 8 \thinspace feet

The tree is 8 feet tall.

Varvara68 [4.7K]

<u>Answer: </u>

The population of a city has decreased by 38% since it was last measured. If the current population is 27,900 .Previous population of city was 45000.

<u> Solution: </u>

Given that current population of city is 27900.  

Also, population of a city has decreased by 38% since it was last measured.

Let assume that population of city when it was last measured = x

Decreased of 38% means x-38% of x . we can write this as,

=x-\frac{38}{100} \times x

=\frac{100 x-38 x}{100}

=\frac{62 x}{100}=\frac{31 x}{50}

So current population is \frac{31 x}{50}

Equating above expression to the given value of current population, we get

\frac{31 x}{50}=27900

x=\frac{27900 \times 50}{31}

x=45000

Hence previous population of city was 45000.

<em>x</em> and <em>w</em> are parallel lines, so

• angles 2 and the one labeled 75º are congruent because they are alternating interior angles, and

• angles 1 and 2 are supplementary because they form a linear pair.

The first observation tells you that angle 2 has measure 75º, and angle 1 has measure <em>m</em> such that

<em>m</em> + 75º = 180º

so angle 1 has measure 180º - 75º = 105º.
