Answer: 89 meters


Step-by-step explanation:


Similar triangles have sides in proportion.


All sides of the tower's triangle are 48.25/1.74 times as long as the pole's triangle.


The tower is 3.2 × 48.25 / 1.74 = 88.7356321 m

Answer is 89 meters.

Can u help this helpless 9th grader ?
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

y = 4x + 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Temperature at sunrise = 32°F

y is the temperature after x hours of sunrise

Temperature change is 4°F/hour.

The equation of a line in slope intercept form is given by

y = mx +c

where m is the slope, which is the change in value of y to the value of x

and c is the value of y at x = 0

At sunrise, x =0 and y =32

∴ c = 32

Also we see that the change in temperature to that of time is 4/1 = 4

∴ m = 4

Substituting the values of m and c in the equation of line, we have

y = 4x +32
