Answer:

  • 20 m

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>We have similar triangles here.</u>

  • BC║DE, AB║AD and AC║AE ⇒ ΔADE ~ ΔABC

<u>The ratio of corresponding sides of similar triangles is same:</u>

  • BC/DE = AC/AE
  • BC / 2 = 30/3
  • BC / 2 = 10
  • BC = 2*10
  • BC = 20 m

Take the similar triangles,

→ ∆ADE ≈ ∆ABC

Now we can find,

The height of the tree in meters,

→ BC/DE = AC/AE

In this equation BC is the height of tree,

→ BC/2 = 30/3

→ BC/2 = 10

→ BC = 10 × 2

→ BC = 20

Hence, the height of the tree is 20 m.

12/10 an 15/6 as a mixed number
olga_2 [115]
12/10 = 1 2/10 or 1 1/5

15/6 = 2 3/6 or 2 1/2.

To turn these fractions into mixed numbers you have to see how much times the denominator can go into the numerator and the amount of numbers left over. For 12/10, 10 can go into 12 1 time, so the whole number is 1. There is 2 numbers left over, so the numerator is 2 and you do not have to change the denominator. To simplify, divide the numerator and denominator by the highest number it can be divided to
