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.
Answer:
D. 2.65 because it is the slope
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
You're given that ΔUVW is similar to ΔYZW. The tricky part is identifying which sides in ΔUVW correspond to which sides in ΔYZW.
The triangles share point W, so visually rotate one triangle around W until the two triangles align. That way, you can see that UW and ZW correspond to each other, and VW and YW correspond to each other.
Now you can find the scale:
VW / YW = 5/12
And you can write a proportion to find x:
UW / ZW = VW / YW
x / 64 = 5 / 12
x = 26 ⅔
Hello there!
3.14 is rational. Hope this helps!
Why? Because pi is irrational, pi squared and the square root of pi is irratonal as well. Hope this helps you!
