Answer:

The correct option is A. The height of tree is 60 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given figure it is noticed that the building is creating a right angle triangle from a point and the tree divides the hypotenuse and base in two equal part.

According to midpoint theorem of triangle: In a triangle, if a line segment connecting the midpoints of two sides, then the line is parallel to third side. The length of line segment is half of the length of third side.

Using midpoint theorem of triangle, we can say that the length of tree is half of the building.

$Tree=\frac{1}{2}\times Building$

$Tree=\frac{1}{2}\times 120$

$Tree=60$

Therefore correct option is A. The height of tree is 60 ft.

We can next plot the two points on the coordinate plane:

graph{((x-6)^2+y^2-0.035)((x-4)^2+(y-2)^2-0.035)=0 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

Now, we can draw a straight line through the two points to graph the line:

graph{(y+x-6)((x-6)^2+y^2-0.035)((x-4)^2+(y-2)^2-0.035)=0 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

Jasmine found a wooden jewellery box shaped like a right rectangular prism. What is the volume of the jewellery box? MY TEACHER

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Volume = Length × Width × Height

Step-by-step explanation:

A right rectangular prism is a three-dimensional object like the one shown in the attachment. It has dimensions: Length, Width and Height. All the angles between the sides are 90°. In order to calculate the volume of an object shaped like a right rectangular prism, we use the following expression.

Volume = Length × Width × Height
