Atree casts a shadow that is about 10 ft long. javier, who is about 5 ft tall, is standing near the tree. javier’s shadow is about 4 ft long. what is the estimated height, t, of the tree?
a) 8 ft
b) 12.5 ft
c) 15.5 ft
d) 18.5 ft

Option B) 12.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A tree casts a shadow that is about 10 ft long

Javier is 5 ft tall and Javier’s shadow is about 4 ft long

using proportion

Find out the estimate height of the tree

Let

x ----> the estimate height of the tree

therefore

The estimate height of the tree is 12.5 ft

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.

days of the week

step-by-step explanation:

javier earned more money then kyle, so that won't always be a constant term, but the days of the week do not change so that term is always constant.
