Answer: Question #1 The height of the tree is about 18 feet.
To solve this problem, you have to write a proportion using the similar triangles that are drawn. The height of the tree matches the height of the person and the shadows match.
Therefore, we can write and solve the following equation:
x/15 = 5.5/4.5
82.5 = 4.5x
x = 18.33

Answer: shameeka sold 20 hamsters to the store.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of hamsters that shameeka sold to the store.
Let y represent the number of hamsters that the pet store had initially.
Shameeka sold her hamsters to a pet store. This doubled the number of hamsters in the store. It means that
x + y = 2y
x = 2y - y
x = y
Then the store got six more hamsters. If the pet store has 46 hamsters now, it means that
2y + 6 = 46
2y = 46 - 6
2y = 40
y = 40/2
y = 20
Since x = y, then
x = 20
