A blue spruce grows an average of 6 inches per year. A hemlock grows an average of 4 inches per year. If a blue spruce is 4 feet tall and a hemlock is 6 feet tall, when would you expect the trees to be the same height?

it will take 12 years for both trees to be of the same height.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of years that it will take for the blue spruce and the hemlock to be the same height.

A blue spruce grows an average of 6 inches per year. If a blue spruce is 4 feet tall,

1 inch = 0.0833 feet

6 inches = 6 × 0.0833 = 0.4998 feet

it means that its height in x years would be

0.4998x + 4

A hemlock grows an average of 4 inches per year. If a hemlock is 6 feet tall.

4 inches = 4 × 0.0833 = 0.3332 feet

it means that its height in x years would be

0.3332x + 6

The number of years that it will take both trees to be of same height is

0.4998x + 4 = 0.3332x + 6

0.4998x - 0.3332x = 6 - 4

0.1666x = 2

x = 2/0.1666

x = 12

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.

391.6 is the correct answer
