Answer:

Height of the tree = 14 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The following illustration will form a right angle triangle. The tree will form the height which is the opposite side. The shadow cast by the tree will form the adjacent side while the angle of elevation is 30° to the hypotenuse.

Using SOHCAHTOA principle

TOA will be used to solve this

since the adjacent side is given which is the length of the shadow and we are looking for the opposite side which is the height of the tree.

shadow length(adjacent) = 25 feet

height of tree(opposite) = y

angle made with the ground = 30°

tan 30° = opposite/adjacent

tan 30° = y/25

cross multiply

25 × tan 30 = y

y =  0.5773502692  × 25

y =  14.43375673  feet

Height of the tree = 14 feet

The two triangles are similar.
Neko [114]

Given that the triangles are similar.

When triangles are similar, all three pairs of corresponding sides are in the same ratio.

Similarly in the given triangles, the ratio of the corresponding sides are equal.

\frac{8}{2x-2}= \frac{8+6}{3x}

\frac{8}{2x-2}= \frac{14}{3x}

Cross multiplying, we get

8 \times 3x = 14 \times (2x-2)

24x = 28x-28

-4x = -28

Dividing both sides of the equation by -4.

So, we get

x = 7.

What is the graph of linear inequality 2y>x-2
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Please refer to the attached graph for the graph of linear inequality:

2y>x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Method to draw graph of inequality:

<u>1. First of all replace the inequality sign with equality.</u>

Now the equation is:

2y=x-2

Now, find point and plot them.

Let us put x = 0, we get y = -1. So one point is <em>(0, -1)</em>

Let us put y = 0, we get x = 2. So one point is <em>(2,0)</em>

Now, plot both the point and join with straight line on xy coordinate axis.

2. Now, try to find a random point and put in the inequality.

If the point satisfies the inequality shade the region moving from the line towards that point.

For example:

Taking a point (4, 2)

Putting in the inequality:

8 > 2-2 \\8>0

So, (4, 2) satisfies the inequality.

Now, shade the region moving from the line towards the point (4,2).

We get the shaded region as shown in the attached figure in the answer area.

multiply width times the height to get the rectangle area

5 x 7 = 35 units squared

I may be wrong but I think you may be over complicating it its okay I do that a lot too
