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

Answer:

<DAB= 98

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

I think you are supposed to assume that this is a parallelogram. In that case the two labeled angles are intended to be equal (one of the properties of a parallelogram).

Equation

2x + 36 = 3x - 5                    Add 5 to both sides

2x + 36 + 5 = 3x  - 5 + 5      Combine

2x + 41 = 3x                          Subtract 2x from both sides

2x - 2x + 41 = 3x - 2x           Combine

41 = x

Answer

<DAB = 2x + 36

<DAB = 2*41 + 36

<DAB = 82 + 36

<DAB = 98
