The ratio of the heights of two trees is 7: 5. if the first tree is 210 feet tall, what is the height of the second tree?

The height of the second tree is 150ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well you have to set it up as a proportion, so

7 = 210

5 = x

Then you cross multiply, 7 times x is 7x, and 210 times 5 is 1050.

Now you have 7x = 1050

Then you divide 1050 and 7x by 7.

And the final answer is x = 150ft

The similarities between constructing congruent segment and constructing a segment bisector with a compass and a straightedge are as follows

1) The location of the endpoint of the congruent segment and the points on the bisector are found with the aid of the compass alone

2) The construction outline of the congruent segment and the line bisecting the segment are completed with the aid of the straight edge

The differences are;

1) The constructed congruent segment does not have to be on the original segment

2) A pair of intersecting arcs are required to construct the bisector, while only one arc is required to construct the congruent segment

3) The compass needle is placed at both end points when constructing a segment bisector while the compass needle is placed only at the defined start point when constructing congruent segments
