The height of the cactus is three times the height of the gate
The value of x so that lines s and t are parallel is 12
<h3 /><h3>How to find angles involving parallel lines?</h3>
The angle are alternate exterior angles.
Therefore, alternate exterior angle theorem states that when two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, then the exterior angles formed on either side of the transversal are equal.
Hence,
7x - 20 = 4x + 16
7x - 4x= 16 + 20
3x = 36
x = 36 / 3
x = 12
Therefore, the value of x is 12.

m(slope)= change in y/change in x
m=-17-(-5)/3-1
m=17+5/2
m=22/2
m=11
To solve for m we want to get m by itself on one side of the equals sign, with everything else on the other side. First we subtract b from both sides, to get it out of the right side of the equation:
y - b = mx + b - b
y - b = mx
Now we divide both sides by x, to get m completely by itself:
(y-b)/x = (mx)/x
(y-b)/x = m
So m is equal to (y-b)/x.
