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.

5<br> [a]<br> 8cm<br> 11cm<br> 6cm<br> What is the surface area
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

424 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

8 x 11 = 88 = 1 side

88 x 2 = 196 = 2 sides

11 x 6 =66 = 3 sides

66 x 2 = 132 = 4 sides

8 x 6 = 48 = 5 sides

48 x 2 = 96 = 6 sides

196 + 132+ 96 = 424

An experiment consists of tossing a coin and drawing a card, with the card-drawing stage dependent on the result of the coin tos
Rom4ik [11]

In every side of the coin, there is a fifty fifty chance of landing on the other side, so there is a probability of 0.50. In a deck of cards, there are 52 cards with 26 clubs and another 26 for spades. So in every random choice, there is a 1/26 probability of the card being chosen.
