Answer:

21 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we would be using the proportion

Shadow /Height

From the question:.

Manny's shadow = 414 feet

Manny's Height = 512 feet

Height of the tree = ? = x

Shadow of the tree = 17 feet

Hence:

414/512 = 17/ x

Cross Multiply

414 × x = 512 × 17

x = 512 × 17/414

x = 21.024154589 feet

x ≈ Approximately = 21 feet

The height of the tree = 21 feet

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

u/4 + 9.9 = 16.9

Putting value of u = 24 in the equation

24/4 + 9.9 = 16.9

6 + 9.9 = 16.9

15.9 = 16.9

Bringing like terms on one

16.9 - 15.9 = 1

In triangle ACE,
we know C=93,E can be calulated by using arch angle AEC...what ever that is....,using this we get  A=180-(E+93)

So, by alternate segment theorem, DCE= A.
