The tree is 25 feet tall. Given the height of the stick and the shadow it cast, the angle formed by the sun and the stick's height can be obtained by taking the Inverse Tangent of 3/5. This is equal to 30.93. This angle is equal to the angle formed by the sun and the tree's height. Using the tangent formula, Tan (30.93)=tree's shadow (15 ft)/ height of the tree, giving the answer 25 feet.
As we know y=3/4x-3
Let's put it in the second equation
3/4x-3=1/4x+1
3/4 x -1/4 x = 1+3
2/4 x = 4
X= 4*4/2
x=8
Put x= 8 in first equation
y= 3/4 *8 -3
y=6-3
y=3
Check the answer
3=3/4 *8 -3
3=6-3
3=3
Correct
So(y, x) = (3,8)
Because x=8 and y=3
4 sides. Think of a trapezoid like a drunk rectangle.

Answer:
70 yd.
Step-by-step explanation:
The three streets at the intersection form a right triangle.
For a right triangle, the length of the longest side (called hypothenuse) is given by Pythagorean's theorem:
where
x is the length of the 1st side
y is the length of the 2nd side
h is the length of the hypothenuse
Here we want to find the hypothenuse.
We have:
x = 42 yd (length of the 1st side)
y = 56 yd (length of the 2nd side)
Substituting, we find h:
I don't understand the English. I would've loved to help though.
