A palm tree is 30 feet tall and casts a 48 foot shadow. The woman standing next to the palm tree casts a shadow similar to that of the palm tree. How tall is the woman if she casts an 8 foot shadow?

answer: this is not a question

step-by-step explanation: this is a answer

answer: your answer is c

step-by-step explanation:

the area of a triangle is determined by the formula: base x height * 1/2

you'll need to assign a base to the triangle. based on the vertices given, the simplest base would be the line segment from (-2,1) to (2,1). the distance between any two numbers is found by just subtracting them. here, you should subtract the x values to find the distance of this side.

2 - (-2) = 4.

so the distance (aka the length of the base) is 4. the height of the triangle is the distance between the base and the highest point on the triangle which is (3,4). we should subtract the y values this time to find the height/distance.

4 - 1 = 3

so the height is 3.

base = 4

height = 3
