The person and his shadow make a right triangle as well as the tree and it's shadow. they will be similar right triangles containing angles that are equal. I'm in similar triangles the angles are proportional so a ratio could be used to determine the shadow length. this ratio is:
25/5 = x/15
(Notice that both the height of the person and
the height of the tree height of the tree are on
the bottom because these would be similar
sides and the same for the shadows with both
on top. this could easily have been switched
with the shadows on bottom and heights on
top like:
5/25 = 15/x
however I noticed the 25/5 could easily be
reduced. this eliminated the need for cross
multiplication.)
The 25/5 can be reduced to 5:
5 = x/15
and then multiply both sides by 15 and you get:
x = 75
so the answer is 75 feet long.
this can be checked various ways. using trigonometry we have the opposite and adjacent sides so tangent could be used to find the angle between the shadow and the hypotenuse. this is:
tan (x) = opposite/adjacent
opposite = height
adjacent = shadow
so:
tan (x) = 5/25 for person
tan (x) = 15/75 for tree
these equations both reduce to:
tan (x) = 1/5
And of both equations are the same then the angLee are equal creating similar triangles and a correct answer

ANSWER: The length of the entire dash is 700 meters.
EXPLANATION:
Because 20% of the dash equals 140 meters, we can use a variable to figure out the length of the entire dash.
Let x be the length of the entire dash.
The length of the entire dash is 700 meters.
English Answer: No object can resist an irresistible force. No force can move an immovable object. So if an immovable object meets an irresistible force it will move and not move.English:
Spanish Answer: Ningún objeto puede resistir una fuerza irresistible. Ninguna fuerza puede mover un objeto inamovible. Entonces, si un objeto inamovible se encuentra con una fuerza irresistible, se moverá y no se moverá.
Answer:
The solution of the system is (6, 9).
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve one of the variables and substitute the answer for the other variable.
Select one of the problems and solve for x.
3x+y=27
Subtract y from both sides.
3x+-y=27
Divide both sides by three.
x=1/3(-y + 27)
Multiply 1/3 by -y + 27.
x = -1/3y + 9
Replace -y/3 + 9 for x in the other problem 3x-2y=0.
3(-1/3y + 9) - 2y = 0
Multiply 3 by -y/3 + 9.
−y+27−2y=0
Add -y to -2y.
−3y+27=0
Subtract 27 from both sides of the problem.
−3y=−27
Divide both sides by −3.
y=9
Replace 9 for y in x=−1/3y+9.
x=−1/3*9+9
Multiply −1/3 times 9.
x=-3+9
Add 9 to -3.
x = 6.
x = 6, y = 9.
