Answer:

The height of the tree is  

18.67

feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

The pole and the tree both cast shadows. The triangles which form are similar triangles, because the sun is shining from the same angle in the sky.

You can write this as a direct proportion. (height : shadow)

Find the angles of 22 and 24 thanks
netineya [11]

Answer:

22) 119

24) 15

Step-by-step explanation:

22) 61 + b = 180              <-- supplementary because on the same line

      b = 119                     <-- subtracted 61 from both sides

24) 87 + (6x + 3) = 180        <-- supplementary because on the same line

     87 + 6x + 3 = 180          <-- take out parantheses

     90 + 6x = 180               <-- add like terms

     6x = 90                         <-- subtracted 90 from both sides

     x = 15                            <-- solve for x by dividing 6 from both sides

F(x)=1+log4^x the 4 is low to the log
SVEN [57.7K]
Well, if you subtract one you get -1=log4^x. base four on each side: 4(to the power of negative 1)=4(to the power of log base four) x. Four to the power of log base 4 cancels, and you're left with 4 to the power of -1=x. the negative exponent recipricates, so x=1/4. you're welcome.
