In his garden, Tim plants the seed 5-1/2 inches below the ground. After one month the tomato has grown a total of 11-3/4 inches. How many inches is the plant above the ground?

The plant is 25/4 inches or 6 -1/4 inches above the ground

Step-by-step explanation:

In his garden, Tim plants the seed 5-1/2 inches below the ground.

= 5 - 1/2 inches converted to improper fraction

= 11/2 inches

This means the seed was played 11/2 inches below the ground

After one month the tomato has grown a total of 11-3/4 inches.

Total growth in inches converted to improper fraction =

47/4 inches

How many inches is the plant above the ground?

Total growth in inches of the plant - inches below the ground at which the seed was planted

= 47/4 - 11/2

L.C.M = 4

= 47 × 1 - 2 × 11/4

= 47 - 22/4

= 25/4 inches

Converted to mixed fraction

= 6 -1/4 inches

Therefore, the plant is 25/4 or 6 -1/4 inches above the ground

∠lno ≅ ∠lnm

∠oln ≅ ∠mln

step-by-step explanation:

given   that triangle lno is congruent to triangle lnm.

we have to fill up the blanks in the given question.

according to above order of congruency   kept in mind we can say that

∠lno ≅ ∠lnm

∠oln ≅ ∠mln

ln ≅ ln due to common in both.

hence, by sas congruency,

the side angle side rule   states that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to another triangle, then these two triangles are congruent.
