16 ft
Explanation
Step 1
because the ligth comes in the same angle, we have 2 similar triangles .
so,as the triangles are similar,the ratio of the shorter leg to the bigger leg must be equal.
Step 2
solve for h
therefore, the heigth of the tree is 16 ft
Ok so to start, your unknown numbers will ne represented as x. The equation looks like this: x+x+1+x+2=228. You have your unknown number, the number plus one, and the numner plus two. To find the answer you divide 228 by 3. Those numbers are all equal though,so you play around with them until you get 75+75+1+75+2=228
To write an improper fraction a mixed number you start by seeing how many times the denominator (bottom number) goes in to the numerator (top number). Since the denominator is 9 and the numerator is 29, 9 goes into 29 3 times. The left over numbers become the fraction of which is in simplest form.
<em>3 x 9 = 27</em>
<em>29 - 27 = 2</em>
<u>Mixed number: 3 2/9</u>
The algebraic expression, if broken down into each word would be :
X^2/3 + 4.
