Answer:

28.8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportion in calculating this.

Let X= height of the shadow of 24- ft tree.

The proportion can be set up as

(15- ft tree) /( 18- ft shadow )=(24- ft tree) / X

15/18 = 24/X

Making X subject of the formula

15X = 18 × 24

X= (18×24)/15

X=28.8 ft

Hence, the shadow of the 24- ft tree is 28.8 feet

324 because if you do 303/15 it’s 20.2 then you add that to 303 which is 323.2 but you can’t have .2 of a gallon so it’s 324

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:∠M in the pre-image corresponds to ∠B in the image.

Step-by-step explanation:

When  we look at the figures , we can see that the three vertices B , C , D are one side as vertices to M , N  ,O .

Clearly , vertex C corresponds to vertex N ( presents in the middle )

Also, point B is at the right from point C .In  Figure L M N O P , vertex M is at the right from vertex N .Thus , vertex M corresponds the vertex B.

It means ∠M in the pre-image corresponds to ∠B in the image.
