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

Kiran and Mai are trying to figure out if this equation is an identity, what do you think
ValentinkaMS [17]

Expanding the left side of the equation, it is found that since <u>both sides are equal</u>, yes, it is an identity.

An equality represents an identity if <u>both sides are equal</u>.

In this problem:

(a - b)^4 = a^4 - 4a^3b + 6a^2b^2 - 4ab^3 + b^4

Expanding the left side:

(a - b)^2(a - b)^2 = a^4 - 4a^3b + 6a^2b^2 + 4ab^3 + b^4

(a^2 - 2ab + b^2)(a^2 - 2ab + b^2) = a^4 - 4a^3b + 6a^2b^2 - 4ab^3 + b^4

a^4 - 4a^3b + + 6a^2b^2 - 4ab^3 + b^4 = a^4 - 4a^3b + 6a^2b^2 - 4ab^3 + b^4

Since <u>both sides are equal</u>, yes, it is an identity.

Is (2,5) a solution of y=3x-10?
Lynna [10]
To see if (2,5) is a solution of the line y = 3x - 10, you need to plug in the coordinate values for x and y. This gets you 5 = 3(2) - 10. Evaluating the right side gives 5 ≠ -4, which is not a true statement. This means that the answer to your problem is no, (2,5) is not a solution of y = 3x - 10. Hope this helps and have a nice day!
