3 0

Check the picture below.

notice the reflected gray line on the red one over the y=x line, the slope of either line across the y=x line is simply the other's upside-down.

$\stackrel{\textit{slope of line "a"}}{a\implies \cfrac{a}{1}}\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{slope of its reflection}}{\cfrac{1}{a}}$

Ramiro is 3/10 as tall as the flagpole. The flagpole is 5/9 as tall as the nearby tree. The tree is 32 2/5 feet tall. How tall i

djyliett [7]

$x-\ Ramiro's\ height\\
y-\ Flapole's\ height\\
z-\ nearby\ tree\\\\
x=\frac{3}{10}y\\
y=\frac{5}{9}z \\z=32\frac{2}{5}\\\\\y=\frac{5}{9}*32\frac{2}{5}=\frac{5}{9}*\frac{162}{5}=18\\\\
x=\frac{3}{10}*18=5,4\\\\
Ramiro\ is\ 5,4\ feet\ tall.$
