I’m not sure about the rest but the slope is 4 and the y intercept is 3.
Answer:
12 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Draw a diagram (see picture below). The tree and its shadow is one triangle, the man and its shadow is another triangle. We assume both are right triangles because people and trees stand vertical.
Create a proportion to solve. Put the missing value in a numerator.
Tree height / Tree shadow = Man height / Man shadow
Solve using cross multiplication. Multiply x by 4. Multiply 6 by 8.
4x = 48 Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x.
x = 12 Height of tree
The tree is 12 feet tall.
Answer:
HL
Step-by-step explanation:
The hypotenuse and the "leg" are congruent...along with the 90 degree angle.
"The HL Postulate states that if the hypotenuse and leg of one right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and leg of another right triangle, then the two triangles are congruent." - Calcworkshop
