Atree casts a shadow 27meters long. a nearby by post that is 5 meters tall casts a shadow 3 meters long. how tall is the tree? (hint: set up proportion to solve)

The tree is 45 meters high.

Step-by-step explanation:

Drawing this out will make it much easier.

In the figure, 3 is proportional to 27, and 5 is proportional to the missing side (x).

Insert the figures into an equation and solve:

3/5 *  27/x

Cross multiply:

3(x)= 27(5)

3x=135

135/3=x

x=45

∠1≅∠2 by the alternate exterior angles theorem.

step-by-step explanation:

given, a ∥ b and ∠1 ≅ ∠3 .we have to prove that e ∥ f

we know that ∠1≅∠3 and that a || b because they are given. we see that by the alternate exterior angles theorem. therefore, ∠2≅∠3 by the transitive property. so, we can conclude that e || f by the converse alternate exterior angles theorem.

we have to fill the missing statement.

transitivity property states that if a = b and b = c, then a = c.

now, given ∠1≅∠3 and by transitivity property ∠2≅∠3 .

hence, to apply transitivity property one angle must be common which is not in result after applying this property which is ∠1.

the only options in which ∠1 is present are ∠1 and ∠2, ∠1 and ∠4

∠1 and ∠4 is not possible ∵ after applying transitivity we didn't get ∠4.

hence, the missing statement is ∠1≅∠2.

so, ∠1≅∠2 by the alternate exterior angles theorem.

.24

step-by-step explanation:

the probability is   .24

the first player had the highest probability of getting a silver marble

the game could be made fair by adding back the marble that was drawn after each draw
