Mathematics

Answer:

  22 3/4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram seems to show a 6 1/2 ft person casting a 9 ft shadow at the same time a flagpole is casting a 31 1/2 ft shadow. You want the height of the flagpole.

<h3>Proportion</h3>

Shadow lengths are presumed proportional to the height of the object making them. This means ...

  h/(31 1/2) = (6 1/2)/9 . . . . . all lengths in feet

Multiplying by 31 1/2, we get ...

  h = (31 1/2)(6 1/2)/9 = (819/4)/9 = 91/4

  h = 22 3/4 . . . . ft

The flagpole is 22 3/4 feet tall.

Evaluate the expression 3(7 + 4)2 − 14 ÷ 7. (5 points)
Kitty [74]
<span>3(7 + 4)2 − 14 ÷ 7

First do the parenthesis

7 + 4 = 11

so the question looks like: 3(11)2 - 14/7

Then multiply 3, 11, and 2 together

3 x 11 x 2 = 66

66 - 14/7

14/7 equals to 2

66 - 2 

Then just simplify

66 - 2 = 64

64 is your answer

hope this helps</span>
