Answer:

The height of the tree=8.42 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Height of Joshua, h=1.45 m

Length of tree's shadow, L=31.65 m

Distance between tree and Joshua=26.2 m

We have to find the height of the tree.

BC=26.2 m

BD=31.65m

CD=BD-BC

CD=31.65-26.2=5.45 m

EC=1.45 m

All right triangles are similar .When two triangles are similar then the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal.

\triangle ABD\sim \triangle ECD

\frac{AB}{EC}=\frac{BD}{CD}

Substitute the values

\frac{AB}{1.45}=\frac{31.65}{5.45}

AB=\frac{31.65\times 1.45}{5.45}

AB=8.42m

Hence, the height of the tree=8.42 m

blondinia [14]

Answer:

10 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the total number of hours

Amazing design total charge = 45x+250

super structures total charge = 60x+100

both companies charge the same amount when both equation equals

45x+250=60x+100

60x-45x=250-100

15x=150

x=10

therefore at 10 hours both companies will charge the same amount
