A pole that is 3.2m tall casts a shadow that is 1.74 m long. At the same time, a nearby tower casts a shadow that is 48.25 m lon
g. How tall is the tower? Round your answer to the nearest meter
1 answer:
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.

Answer:
for the first question
8² +7²=x²
64 +49=x²
x=√113
similarly for second
15²+18²=x²
225+324=x²
√549=x
3√61=x
Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
5x+2y=11 x4
4x-3y=18 x5
20x+8y=44
20x-15y=90
23y= -46
y= -46/23 = -2
5x+2*-2=11
5x-4=11
5x=15
x=3
