800 3. Andrew is buying a farm and needs to determine the height of a tree on the farm. Andrew, who is 5.8 feet tall, notices that when his shadow is 10 feet long, the shadow of the tree is 85 feet long. How tall is the tree? (5 points)​

9514 1404 393

  49.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Shadow lengths and object heights are considered to be proportional, so we have ...

  tree height/(tree shadow) = Andrew's height/(Andrew's shadow)

  height / (85 ft) = (5.8 ft)/(10 ft)

  height = (85 ft)(5.8/10) = 49.3 ft

The tree is 49.3 feet tall.

reduce the friction between its moving parts

step-by-step explanation:

in fact, by reducing the friction between the moving parts of the machine, it is possible to reduce the energy wasted due to this friction; therefore, more input energy is converted into useful work, and this will improve the efficiency of the machine.
