You are 64 inches tall and your shadow is 72 inches long. a tree casts a shadow of 144 inches. how tall is the tree? a) 100 in b) 128 in c) 136 in d) 150 in

Hello there! We are looking for the height of the tree. To find the height of the tree, we can write and solve a proportion. Set it up like this:

64/72 = x/144

This is because we know the shadow for both you and the tree, but we are looking for the heigh of the tree. This is the proper way to get you to the correct answer with ease. Let's start off by cross multiplying the values. 144 * 64 is 9,216. 72 * x is 72x. That's 9,216 = 72x. Now, divide each side by 72 to isolate the x. 72x/72 cancels out. 9,216/72 is 128. There. x = 128. The tree is 128 inches tall. The answer is B: 128 in.

Get 40 cups.u would say since the bowl and cups must be equal it would be 40

so the perpendicular line goes through the given pointyou would get a perpendicular line at some random location

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
