Atree casts a 9 ft shadow at the same time that a person 6 ft tall casts a 4 ft shadow. what is the height of the tree?

13.5 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the height of tree.

Given: A tree casts a 9 ft shadow at the same time that a person 6 ft tall casts a 4 ft shadow.

Since both the tree and the man are standing vertical to the ground at the same time so the sun rays will make the same angle , therefore, the triangles made by both tree and man are similar.

And  in the similar triangles, the sides are proportional.

Therefore,

hence, the height of the tree is 13.5 ft.

the equation cos(35) =a/25 can be used to find the length of bc what is the length of bc? round to the nearest tenth

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

given expression is .

now we need to simplify the given expression .

we know that square root is equivalent to the power 1/2. so that means we can take half of the exponents to get the square root of given expression.

expanding that will give a very very large number so let's keep answer in exponent form.
