Question

Use the information in the diagram to determine the height of the tree. The diagram is not to scale.

Answer 1

I got 30 as my answer is that correct @jim_thompson5910

Answer 2

Hint: this is another midsegment problem (just written differently and it's not as obvious)

Answer 3

okay... so it cant be 120 and it cant be 60...reworking the problem just now i got 28

Answer 4

how did you rule out 60

Answer 5

it said the diagram was not to scale so i just assumef

Answer 6

well the tick marks show you that you're dealing with the midsegment

Answer 7

@jim_thompson5910 so 60

Answer 8

correct

Answer 9

can you tell me if i did this problem correctly too

Answer 10

ok one more

Answer 11

hold on it takes a little bit to write

Answer 12

Find the circumcenter of the triangle
and my answer was (–4, –2)

Answer 13

that's incorrect

Answer 14

hint: the circumcenter is found by finding the intersection of the perpendicular bisectors

Answer 15

i have no clue hoe to do this then... um the only other answer i could find was -5/2, -4

Answer 16

find the midpoints of each side

find the equations of the perpendicular lines through these midpoints

find where the lines intersect

Answer 17

oh wait its -5/2, -2

Answer 18

yep
