At a certain time of day, a tree that is x feet tall casts a shadow that is x-17 meters long. If the distance from the top of the tree to the end of the shadow is x+1 meters, what is the height of the tree?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The height is 5.916079783

Step-by-step explanation:

shadow=17

top of tree to end of shadow= 17 +1

                                               =18

a^2=c^2-b^2

a^2=18^2-17^2

a^2=35

a=5.916079783       *remember to round if necessary
