Answer:
X<-4
Step-by-step explanation:
-3x+10>22
subtract 10 to both sides
-3x>12
divide by -3 on both sides
when you divide by a negative number you flip the sign so the answer will be x<-4
Answer:
The tree is 17.5 ft tall
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use proportions to solve this.
Notice that Emily (5 feet tall) and her shadow (8 feet long) constitute the two legs of a right angle triangle (see attached image).
The nearby tree (unknown height H), will also cast a shadow (28 ft long) with the same inclination as Emily does due to the unique position of the sun relative to them.
Then we can use the proportion associated with the sides of similar triangles:

Then, we can solve for H in the equation:

There are 4 faces on a triangular pyramid
so total surface area = 4 x area of each face = 4 x 66
= 264 sq mm
