Answer:

Choice B. 16 feet.

The height of the tree is 16 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar Triangles

Similar triangles have their corresponding side lengths proportional by a fixed scale factor.

We are given the drawings of a tree and a wall and it's assumed both triangles are similar. We need to find the scale factor and find the height of the tree.

Comparing the corresponding distances from the viewer to the base of the tree and the base of the wall, we can calculate the scale factor as 24/6=4.

Applying the same factor to the height of the model, we get the height of the tree is 4*4 = 16 ft.

Choice B. 16 feet

The height of the tree is 16 ft

Massimo has $90 in the bank every time he rides the bus he spends 250 write and solve an equation that Massimo can use to see ho

Alik [6]

2.50x=90
X stands for the number of times he can ride the bus.
To solve this, you'd take 90/2.5 which is equivalent to 36. He would be able to ride the bus 36 times.

Jamie has 7/10 of a pound of chicken to cook for dinner if she's going to put the chicken in between three people how much chick

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Each person will get $\frac{7}{30}$ or approximately 0.23 pounds of chicken.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a word problem involving fractions. Using key words and phrases from the problem, we can decide which operation we need to use to solve. Since Jamie is splitting the chicken equally between three people, she would need to divide the amount of chicken she has by 3:

$\frac{7}{10}$ ÷ $\frac{3}{1}$

Since we can't divide fractions, we need to use the 'keep-change-flip' rule to keep the first fraction, change the operation to multiplication and flip the second fraction:

$\frac{7}{10}*\frac{1}{3}=\frac{7}{30}$

We can convert the fraction into a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator: 7÷30≈0.23 pounds per person.

Proving That All Circles Are Similar

Nitella [24]

Answer:

Figures can be proven similar if one, or more, similarity transformations (reflections, translations, rotations, dilations) can be found that map one figure onto another. In our attempt to prove all circles are similar, a translation and a scale factor (from a dilation) will be found to map one circle onto another.
