A flagpole casts a showdown 15 feet long the 6 foot tall man casts a shadow 4 feet long how tall is the flag pole

Mathematics

Neko [114]3 years ago

Set it up as a ratio:
mans shadow over mans height (4/6 ) equals flag pole shadow over flag pole height (15/x)

set them to equal each other:

4/6 = 15/x

cross multiply: 4*x =4x, 15*6 = 90

so you have 4x = 90

now divide both sides by 5 to solve for x, which is the height of the flag pole:

x = 90 / 4 = 22.5 feet tall

If the first question mark is 3 then the next is 13 than the next still 13 and the right one 26 and then lastly x is equally to 2
Or
3x+9+10x=33
13x+9=33
13x=26
X=2

from a point P the length of the tangent to a circle is 24 cm and the radius is 7 cm find the distance of P from the centre​
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

22.96 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the point of contact of the tangent with the circle be R.

Let the centre of the circle be O.

We are told that from Point P, the length of the tangent is 24 cm.

Thus, PR = 24 cm

Now, the radius will be perpendicular to the tangent at the point of contact with the circle.

Thus, ORP will form a right angle triangle where ∠R = 90°

Since radius = 7 cm, we can use pythagoras theorem to find OP which is the distance of P from the centre.

Thus;

OP = √(24² - 7²)

OP = √527

OP = 22.96 cm
