Grace's height and the tree's height are related by equivalent ratios
The height of the tree is 2.00 meters
Grace's height is given as:

When she measured the length of the tree's shadow, we have:
--- the length of her shadow
--- the length of the tree's shadow
The height (H) of the tree is calculated using the following equivalent ratio

Substitute known values

Express as fractions

Multiply both sides by 1.65

Simplify

Hence, the approximated height of the tree is 2.00 meters

Let the first number = x
The second number would be x +1
3rd number = x +2
4th number = x +3
5th number = x+4
6th number = x+5
7th number = x +6
8th number = x +7
9th number = x+8
The sum is 279
Combine like terms in the 9 numbers to get: 9x + 36 = 279
Solve for x:
9x + 36 = 279
Subtract 36 from both sides:
9x = 243
Divide both sides by 9:
x =27
The first number is 27
The last number would be 27 + 8 = 35
The sum of the first and last would be 27 + 35 = 63
for increase:
Increase = New Number - Original Number
Then divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100
For decrease:
Decrease = Original Number - New Number
Then divide the decrease by the original number and multiply the answer by 100
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
If a parabola has its vertex on the y-axis, then its equation is

This parabola passes through the point R(3,9), then

The area of the right triangle PQR is

Find PQ and QR, if
