Apalm tree casts a shadow that is 7 m shorter than its height. the distance from the top of the tree to the tip of the shadow is 1 m longer than the tree itself. how tall is the palm tree?

12 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Take a look at the picture below.

If we call x the height of the tree, then the shadow which is 7 m shorter than its height would be "x - 7" and the distance from the top of the tree to the tip of the shadow would be "x + 1" (it is 1 m longer than the tree)

Thus, the only solution we have is x = 12 and the height of the palm tree is 12 m.

if you explain the the question more correctly i might be able to answer this better

step-by-step explanation:

i think it is everything has to equal 180 so, if i correct 4=c. 6=d. 8=a. 7=b. and the last question would be c. because they are parallel lines and they are congruent.

step-by-step explanation:

the reason everything has to equal to 180 is because that is how it works. i'm guessing that is its rule. 4 and 8 are congruent and parallel so, that would be 30+30 because they have the same number. it would equal 60. 6 and 7 are congruent and parallel so, that would be 30+30 because they have the same number. it would equal 60. 60+60 is 180. so, now you have your answer
