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.

There are 15 pencils altogether. Of these, 4 are green. Thus, P(green) = 4/15.


3+6

There are 3 red and 6 blue pencils. Thus, P(red or blue) = --------- = 3/5

Bailey saves money at the end of each month. The function f(x) = 10x + 50 models the total amount he has saved after 'x' months.
kozerog [31]

Answer:

  • D) all non-negative integers

Step-by-step explanation:

The function f(x) = 10x + 50 models the total amount he has saved after 'x' months.

The domain is x-values, which is the number of the months.

x can only be zero or positive integers (since you can save after the month is complete), therefore the last option is correct.
