Answer:
Choice 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The reading rate of Sam is 0.75 pages/minute.
i.e 30 pages/40 minutes

Two hours earlier than the appointment start time, so he should get up at 6:45am, at latest.
X + (4x+15) = 180
5x+15=180
5x=165
x=33
4(33)+15=147. (Or you could subtract 33 from 180)
Check answer: 33+147=180 yes
The Pythagorean theorem can be used for this.
.. (tip distance)² = (shadow length)² + (tree height)²
.. tree height = √((tip distance)² -(shadow length)²)
.. tree height = √((60 ft)² -(40 ft)²) = √(2000 ft²)
.. tree height ≈ 44.72 ft
