I can't speak any german. I had a german class last year and most of the class got an F or a D because we didn't understand anything. The only language I speak are English, wich is weird, because I have an A at Enlighs but an D at Portuguese. I also speak some spanish. |

Is that dutch languange only site? I was going to look at it and i cant understand a word.
If it looks like German spelt by a drunk man with some French and English words randomly inserted in the middle, then it's probably Dutch, yes. 
As a German I think its quite an easy language for us to understand a lot of words dont differ that much

Can anyone please help me??
The highest tree in Norway is called”Goliat” i Aurskog-Høland. Lise wants to find out how high the tree is. she places a 2,0 m vertical pole on the ground 10,0 m in front of the tree. Lise aims in a straight line from the top of the tree through the top of the pole. It hits the ground 0,5 m away from the pole. Use the principles of similarity to calculate the height of the tree.
Original in Norwegian: Spoiler Norges høyeste tre skal være grantreet ”Goliat” i Aurskog-Høland. Lise vil finne ut hvor høyt treet er. Hun plasserer en 2,0 m loddrett stav på bakken 10,0 m foran treet. Lise sikter inn en rett linje fra toppen av treet gjennom toppen av staven som treffer bakken 0,5 m fra staven. Bruk formlikhet og regn ut hvor høyt treet er. |

I would give a lot if my math exam in two weeks would have that kind of tasks.
But I highly doubt this in my 6th semester.  |

Maths are so silly here in Norway, the 10th grade plan is similar to an American 5th grade plan... |

Just use the Pythagorean theorem and the Intercept theorem (theorem of intersecting lines) if this helps you.

We had a teacher who gave us good grades for such an extraordinary attitude, but rather for literature theory or philosophy classes.
I sucked at math completly, i had a problem also with simple equations. And now i work with numbers and statistics every day and no problem. Maths is stupid to learn so deeply if you are not going to be rocket scientist, they frequetly give it so much importance in the school, i found it stupid. Meanwhile the laws of logic should be more important imo...

2/0.5=x/(10+0.5)
x=(2*10.5)/0.5
x=42 <- your tree |

That's quite an easy problem.
Lets name the points to make things easier:
You can see that ADE is just a smaller version of ABC.
To find the lenght of BC, we need to compare the 2 triangles.
AB compares to AE
AC to AE
BC to DE
We already know AE, AB, and DE so it is quite easy. We set up a ratio table:
We now fill in the data we have:
We then look for BC by using cross multiplication. That means, we multiply 10 with 2, and 0,5 with BC.
Now we know that: 0,5BC = 20
We devide both 0,5BC and 20 by 0,5, so we get the whole BC:
BC = 10
EDIT: wrong ratio table, wrong answer, screw this
Answer is indeed 42, I checked it again

What the heck is going on in here? And I though browsing the forum would keep me away from thinking about school. |
