Please answer the question. You must show your work. You can use proportions or the scale factor. Suppose you work for the Department of Forestry and have been called in to cut down a diseased tree at a summer camp. The tree is quite tall and is in an area surrounded by cabins. You measured the distance from the base of the tree to the nearby cabins, and you found that the cabins will be safe if the tree falls within 200.5 feet of its base.
In the early afternoon, you find that a 96-inch fence post casts a 36-inch shadow at the same time the diseased tree casts a 70.7-foot shadow.

Find the height of the tree and determine whether it is safe to cut the tree at ground level or not.
Is it safe to cut the tree at ground level?
If not, how high up the trunk must you cut to guarantee that the tip of the tree will hit the ground within the safe zone?

Data from 2005 for various age groups show that for each $100 increase in the median weekly income for whites, the median weekly income of blacks increases by $105. also, for workers of ages 25 to 54 the median weekly income for whites was $676 and for blacks was $527. (a) let w represent the median weekly income for whites and b the median weekly income for blacks, and write the equation of the line that gives b as a linear function of w. b = (b) when the median weekly income for whites is $760, what does the equation in (a) predict for the median weekly income for blacks?
