A. 1 because a to b is 5 miles and b to c is 4 miles so it couldn't be 1 mile
Answer: The height of the palm tree is 21 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use a ratio to solve this:
Actual height to shadow for both objects. The fraction equivalents must be equal.
6/8 = x/28 . Cross multiply
6(28) = 8x
168 = 8x Divide both sides by 8 (8's "cancel" on the right)
168/8 =8x/8
21 = x . This gives us the tree's height as 21 feet.
<em>Another way to solve this is to use the ratios, but simplify the first fraction</em>
<em>6/8 = 3/4</em>
<em>Then multiply the length of the shadow by 3/4</em>
<em>3/4 × 28 = height</em>
<em>28÷4 = 7 7 × 3 = 21</em>
<em>21 feet= the height of the palm tree.</em>
Yes there is an error in this statement.
because x^2 = 25
so x = 5...this is one condition
Another condition is x = -5
(-5)^2 = 25 (this is also true)
