The palm tree on the left
is 10 years old. The palm tree on the right is
8 years old. The trees grow at the same rate.
a. Estimate the height y (in feet) of each tree.
b. Plot the two points (x, y), where x is the
age of each tree and y is the height of
each tree.
c. What is the rate of growth of the trees?
d. Write an equation that represents the
height of a palm tree in terms of its age.

d. 8

step-by-step explanation:

the given radical expression is:

we can rewrite this as:

we express as square numbers to get;

the exponents will now cancel out to give.

the correct answer is d

answer:   c ?

step-by-step explanation:

55 degrees because 55+55=110 degrees

look at the picture.

1.

ef : ab = 2 : 3

gf : cb = 2 : 3

gh : cd = 2 : 3

he : da = 2 : 3

2.

∠a ≅ ∠e

∠b ≅ ∠f

∠c ≅ ∠g

∠d ≅ ∠h

3.

use pythagorean theorem:

the length of the abcd trapezoid sides:

|ab| = 3 cm

|bc| = 10 cm

|cd| = 3(3) cm = 9 cm

|da| = 8 cm

the perimeter of abcd = 3 + 10 + 9 + 8 = 30 cm

the ratio of perimeters of the tarapezoids is equal 2 : 3.

substitute:

      cross multiply

      divide both sides by 3
