Answer 1

i think its a

Explanation:

Answer 2

The two triangles are similar and the height of the tree is 12 ft. option B

what is the height of the tree?

let

AB = x

BC = 16 ft

CD = 8 ft

DE = 6 ft

Set up a proportion to find the height of the tree

AB : DE = BC : CD

x / 6 = 16 / 8

Cross product

x × 8 = 16 × 6

8x = 96

x = 96/8

x = 12 ft

Therefore, the height of the tree is 12 ft.
