A gardener is planting two types of trees:

Type A is 8 feet tall and grows at a rate of 20 inches per year.

Type B is 5 feet tall and grows at a rate of 23 inches per year.

Algebraically determine exactly how many years it will take for these trees to be the same height.

1.15 years

Step-by-step explanation:

to get the answer you divide 23 by 20 to get the answer which is equal to 1.15 years.

a

step-by-step explanation:

first, you divide the triangle in two, tô form a retangle triangle. after, using pythagoream theorem:

18^2 = 14^2 + (x/2)^2

(x^2/4) + 196 = 324

x^2/4 = 324 - 196

x^2/4 = 128

x^2 = 512

x = √512

x = √2^9

x = 16√2 cm

i hope i you.
