Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Brian Height = 6 feet

Brian Shadow Height = 4 foot

Flag Shadow Height = 20 foot

Flag Height = Unknown ??

So we can use cross multiplication

6/4 = x/20

6×20/4 = x

6×20 =120

120÷4 = 30

So x= 30, which is the Flag Height

I wish that I helped you with this.

As per linear equation, the  height of the flag pole is 30 feet.

<h3>What is a linear equation?</h3>

A linear equation is an equation that has one or multiple variables with the highest power of the variable is 1.

Given, Brian is 6 feet tall and cast a 4 feet shadow.

Therefore, the ratio of Brain and it's shadow is

= 6/4

= 1.5

A flag pole cast a 20 foot shadow.

Therefore, the height of the flag pole is

= 20 × 1.5 feet

= 30 feet.

Order the numbers below least to greatest<br> Please help me
n200080 [17]

The given numbers ordered from least to greatest is:

{√7 , 2.8..., π, √17,  4.6}

<h3>How to order the numbers from least to greatest?</h3>

First, we need to write all the given numbers in decimal form so we can accurately compare them.

The numbers are:

{4.6, √7, π, 2.8..., √17}

Rewriting all of these in decimal form:

√7 = 2.64

π = 3.14159265....

√17 = 4.12

Then the numbers are:

{4.6, 2.64, 3.14159265....,  2.8..., 4.12}

Now is easier to order these numbers, ordering them from least to greatest we will get:

{2.64, 2.8..., 3.14159265...., 4.12, 4.6}

Now, using the original notation we get:

{√7 , 2.8..., π, √17,  4.6}
