Answer:

4 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Height of tree = 20 feets

Shadow of tree = 15 ft

Height of student = 5ft 4 in ; 4 in = 0.3333 foot = 5.3333 feet

Shadow of student = s

Height of tree / shadow of tree = height of student / shadow of student

20 / 15 = 5.33333 / s

Cross multiply :

20 * s = 15 * 5.33333

s = 79.99995 / 20

s = 3.9999975

Shadow of student =, 4 feets

Two angles are supplementary. if the larger angle is 3 degrees more than twice the smaller angle then how big is each angle. wri
Margaret [11]
Two angles are supplementary when they <span>add up to 180 degrees.

x = </span><span>smaller angle
</span>2x+3 =<span> larger angle

x + 2x + 3 = 180
3x = 180 - 3
3x = 177
x = 177/3
x = 59</span>°   ← smaller angle

2x + 3 = 2*59 + 3 = 121°  ← larger angle

based only on the information given in the diagram which congruence theorems or postulates could be given as reason why ABC=DEF
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

HL

SAS

SSS

Step-by-step explanation:

Since these are right triangles, and you have the two hypotenuses are congruent to each other and two legs that are also congruent to each other, then HL can be applied.

For HA to work we must have been given something else about one of those angle (besides the 90 degree one).

Since you have two corresponding sides that are congruent, then the 90 degree angles in both are congruent, and then the sides right after that 90 degree angle are also congruent to each other, so SAS can be applied.

We can't use AAS.  We only know something about one angle per each triangle due to the markers.

LA? Needed another angle besides the 90 degree one.

All three corresponding sides are congruent. The markers tell us this. So we can apply SSS.
