Can you explain the question in words please?
Use the property of similarity of triangles =》the corresponding sides of a triangle should be in the same ratio.
Take the missing side as 'x'.
The corresponding sides here are,
■ 7 & 14 ft
■ 5 & x ft
7/14 = 5/x
7x = 5 × 14 (cross multiplication)
7x = 70
x = 70/7
x = 10 ft
Height of the tree = 10 ft.

You get everything you need from factoring the last expression:
The left side is a difference of squares, and we get another difference of squares upon factoring. We end up with
Plug in everything you know and solve for 
:
To get a perpendicular line, your slopes will equal -1 when multiplied...this means if we multiply - 4 x (1/4), we get out slope to use for the next step.
Y - Y1 = M(X - X1) passes through (-2, 7)
Y - 7 = 1/4(X - (-2))
Y - 7 = 1/4(X + 2)
Y - 7 = 1/4X + 1/2
+7 + 7
Y = 1/4X + 7.5
