A10 ft tall flagpole stands next to a tree. the shadow of the flagpole is 17 ft and the shadow of the tree is 50 ft. what is the height of the tree? round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

set up the proportion and then cross multiply to solve for the missing variable.

⇒

⇒ 10(50) = 17(x)

⇒      50  = 17x

⇒      

⇒      2.9  = x

2.9 ft

i would pic false cause it goes down towards negative

step-by-step explanation:

x = 2

step-by-step explanation:

if sr parallel to ba then the sides bc and ac are in proportion, that is

= ← substitute values

= ( cross- multiply )

27x = 6(4x + 1)

27x = 24x + 6 ( subtract 24x from both sides )

3x = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 2
