9514 1404 393

Answer:

  40 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The post is 8/12 = 2/3 as tall as the shadow is long. We expect the same relationship holds for the tree.

  tree height = (2/3)(shadow length) = (2/3)(60 ft) = 40 ft

The tree is 40 feet tall.

A triangle has sides with lengths of 18 centimeters, 68 centimeters and 74 centimeters. Is it a right triangle?
Hoochie [10]

= 324 + 4,624

= 4,948

74^2 = 5,476

4,848 is not equal to 5,476.

Since the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two shorter sides is not equal to the square of the length of the longest side, the triangle is not a right triangle.
