Miles is starting a tree farm. His plot of land is triangular with one side 36 feet and the other
two sides 30 feet each. The height of this
triangle-shaped plot is 24 feet. If each tree
needs 8 square feet of space to grow, how many
trees can Miles plant?
A. 35
B. 42
C. 54
D. 76

unless if u could do my questions, if not i wouldn't want to

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2

+2+=+%2836%2fx%29%5e2+

+2+=+1296%2fx%5e2+

++x%5e2+=+1296%2f2+=+648+

answer: what statements

step-by-step explanation if you write the statements down then i could you.

y= 2x+7

changed to y= 5x +7

as slope is increased from 2 to 5

therefore it would be less steeper

so, option d) is correct
