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.

"Break into triangles, then add. In the figure on the right, the polygon can be broken up into triangles by drawing all the diagonals from one of the vertices. If you knowenough sides and angles to find the area of each, then you can simply add them up to find the total." -<span>www.mathopenref.com/polygonirregulararea.html</span>

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

Both Wolverine and James Bond will have paid the same amount after 10 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denotes the number of months after which both Wolverine and James Bond will have paid the same amount.

As Wolverine makes a $1000 down payment for a motorcycle and then pays $300 per month,

Amount paid by Wolverine in x months is equal to 1000+300x

As James Bond makes a $2500 down payment for a motorcycle and then pays $150 per month,

Amount paid by James Bond in x months is equal to 2500+150x

To find number of months after which both Wolverine and James Bond will have paid the same amount,

solve 1000+300x=2500+150x

1000+300x=2500+150x\\300x-150x=2500-1000\\150x=1500\\x=\frac{1500}{150}=10

So, both Wolverine and James Bond will have paid the same amount after 10 months.
