Megan is reading a book about the tallest tree in the world, the redwood tree. One of the trees she reads about grew 300 feet tall over 150 years. If the tree grew at a steady rate, how many inches did it grow each year?

Write an explicit formula that represents the sequence defined by the following recursive formula:

Kayla wants to find the width, ab, of a river. she walks along the edge of the river 65 ft and marks point c. then she walks 25 ft further and marks point d. she turns 90° and walks until her location, point a, and point c are collinear. she marks point e at this location, as shown. (a) can kayla conclude that δ and δ are similar? why or why not? (b) suppose de = 15 ft. what can kayla conclude about the width of the river?

1yd 1 ft = 1 1/12 1 1/3 1 1/2 1 1/6
