At the same time, the sun casts a shadow on the girl and tree creating two similar right triangles. You can use a ratio of girl's height to her shadow will be the same as the tree's height to it's shadow.

5 / 2.5 = T / 14.5
2 = T / 14.5
2 * 14.5 = T
29 ft = Tree

Please show me how you find x and determine what x is <br> Thank you I appreciate it :)
AfilCa [17]

well, let's notice something, we have two 45° angles, now each of those will give use an equal opposite side, namely if that one side is "x", the other is her twin, "x" as well.

is a right-triangle, so we can use the pythagorean theorem, and we know the sides are x,x,6.


\bf \textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies 6^2=x^2+x^2 \qquad \begin{cases} c=\stackrel{hypotenuse}{6}\\ a=\stackrel{adjacent}{x}\\ b=\stackrel{opposite}{x}\\ \end{cases} \\\\\\ 36=2x^2\implies \cfrac{36}{2}=x^2\implies 18=x^2\implies \sqrt{18}=x\implies \sqrt{9\cdot 2}=x \\\\\\ \sqrt{3^2\cdot 2}=x\implies \boxed{3\sqrt{2}=x}

Navin signed up for a gym membership. The cost was $125 plus $20 each
Lisa [10]

Answer:

a) the initial value is $125, and it represents the cost Navin has to pay in the beginning

b) the rate of change is  $20 per month, and it represents the cost he has to pay per month

c) linear; the equation for it is y = 20x + 125

d) The rate of change is constant because each month, Navin always has to pay $20.

e) This is <u>partial variation</u> because the equation y = 20x + 125 doesn't follow y = kx

Have a lovely rest of your day/night, and good luck with your assignments! ♡
