Answer: Length of shorter tree = 7.2 feet .
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Height of two trees as 50 feet and 20 feet.
At same time the angle made by sun rays would be same for both trees.
Both trees are vertical to the ground making right angle so triangles made by both triangles must be similar.
Corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional.
So
So, Length of shorter tree = 7.2 feet .
Answer:
32 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the diagram attached below similar to the one required to complete the question below.
From the diagram,
Actaul Area of a parallelogram (A) = Actual Base(b)× actual heigth(h)
A = bh.......................... Equation 1
From the question,
If each 6 in on the scale drawing equals 3 feet
Given:
base on the scale drawing = 8 in.
Actual base(b) = (8×3)/6 = 4 feet.
Height on the scale drawing = 16 in
Actual height(h) = (16×3)/6 = 8 feet.
Substitute these values into equation 1
A = 4×8
A = 32 ft²
Hence the actual area of the shape is 32 ft²
