A length of rope is stretched between the top edge of a building and a stake in the ground. The head of

the stake is at ground level. The rope also touches a tree that is growing halfway between the stake and the
building. If the tree is 38 feet tall, how tall is the building?
38 ft.
19 ft.
76 ft.
57 ft.

using similar triangles, it is clear that if the tree is halfway to the stake, then it is half as tall as the building.

Assuming that the rope touches the top of the tree, that is.

No it’s 19 ; 18 isn’t an option.

its 18, since 36/2=18. lmao

38/2 = 19

Those with 38 in the word problem should choose 19
Those with 36 in the word problem should choose 18.
"Lmao"

Make sure to read the problem right.

The answer to the question is 76 because the answer is the tree's height times 2.

you know you're stupid when everybody is arguing whether the answer is 18 or 19, and you got -2

You guys are all wrong. The answer is 76. We are trying to find out the buildings height

User Icon for Boss Boss answered

The answer is 76 because the building is twice the height of the tree.

The answers for the whole test

1) C. 76 ft
2) B. AI=AK
3) B. (3,5)
4) B. II only
5) C. Median
6) D. C,A,B
7) B. 10 cm, 15 cm, 24 cm
8) D. 1<n<25
9) midsegment
10) equidistant
11) perpendicular
12) concurrent

You can find the 13, 14, and 15 on brainly, just put them in your own
words

16) 3<n<15

I just took the test so I know that the multiple choice answers are all
correct, but 16 hasn't been graded yet but I'm pretty sure that's the
answer. Good luck!

From the several given answers, you guys just have to dissect the posts and plug them into your problems. Use multiple different sources for your answers like other jiskha posts and brainly. It seems EVERYONE's tests are different. The correct answers are out there, they are just not in the same place.

11-14 I just copied @anonymous, so I don't really know these answers. Sorry, but for sure the last question is 100% right.

NOTE!!!! These are my answers so when taking the test make it your own words so you won't get into trouble. :) Just helping, thanks!

15. To find the value of X. We will have to use the mid segment theorem with finding out the 'given'. With the line connected to the midpoints of the two sides of the triangles is parallel, moving to the third side also adds half of the third side. B is the midpoint of AC and D is the midpoint of CE, so that makes (midpoint B of AC) AB = AC and the (midpoint D of CE) ED = DC. Together its BD = 3x + 5 and AE = 4x + 20. To proof the value of x, ⇒ 1/2 AE = BD ⇒ 1/2 4x + 20 = 3x + 5 ⇒ 4x + 20 = 2(3x + 5) ⇒ 4x + 20 = 6x + 10 ⇒ 20 - 10 = 6x - 4x ⇒ 10 = 2x ⇒ 10/2 = x ⇒ 5 = x.
So, the value of x is 5.

16. GE = 6 and BG = 3. The point that the three medians of the triangle intersect is known as the centroid of a triangle. Given, G is the centroid and BE = 9, the centroid point G divides the segment BE in a ratio of 2, 1, such that GE is twice the length of BE. BG = 1/3*BE, BG = 1/3*9 = 3, and GE = 2/3*9 = 6. So that makes it to be, GE = 6 and BG = 3.

17. The measure of length FG is 14 units. From the given diagram, since Line DF bisects angle EDG, EF = FG. The given parameters is, EF = n + 9 and FG = 4n - 6 equating both expressions as: n + 9 = 4n - 6, n - 4n = -6 - 9, -3n = -15, and n = 5. That would make the measure of FG = 14.

18. A. circumcenter: the point of is intersecting the perpendicular bisectors. B. incenter: the point of intersection of angle bisectors. C. centroid: the point of intersects of the medians, and D. orthocenter: the point of intersecting lines containing the altitudes.

19. All the vertices of a triangle are equidistant from the circumcenter. In an acute-angled triangle, the circumcenter lies inside the triangle. In an obtuse-angled triangle, it lies outside of the triangle. The circumcenter lies at the midpoint of the hypotenuse side of a right-angled triangle.

20. If "I" is the incenter of the triangle ABC, then ∠BAI = ∠CAI, ∠BCI = ∠ACI, and ∠ABI = ∠CBI using the angle bisector theorem. The sides of the triangle are tangents to the circle, and that leaves EI = FI = GI = r which is known as the inradii of the circle or radius of the incircle.

Have a nice day!
