Answer:
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.

5050
Step-by-step explanation:
S=n*(n+1) / 2
S=100 * (100+1) /2 = 50 * 101 = 5050
The correct answer is D.
This is because a converse statement switches the places of the hypothesis and conclusion.
