<span>Let the height of tree be denoted as AB and the shadow cast by the tree be BE. ABE is the triangle formed the tree, rays and the ground. Let the height of the person be CD and the length of his shadow be DE. CDE is the triangle formed by the person, rays and the ground.
We have two triangles. Both the person and the tree stand vertically over the horizontal ground, therefore they make 90 degrees with the ground. The angle formed at the ground is the same for the both the triangles. Therefore, by AA similarity the two triangles are similar.
We know that if two triangles are similar, then their sides are proportional.
Therefore,
AB/CD =BE/DE
AB/6 = 143/11
AB= (143/11) *6
AB = 78 ft.</span>
We take the equation 4x+y=5 and subtract 4x from both sides to get
y = 5 - 4x
The answer to this question is <span>y=5−4x.</span>
Answer:
-x^2 - 7x + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
2x(x - 1) - 3x^2 - (5x - 4)
= 2x^2 - 2x - 3x^2 - 5x + 4
Adding like terms, we get:-
-x^2 - 7x + 4 (answer).
