The longer an object, the longer the shadow they cast at a given time of the day and vice versa. This is called direct proportionality. At the same time,

If 15 foot flagpole ---- casts 11 foot shandow
    28 foot tree -------- casts ?? foot shadow

The proportion would therefore be:

Length of shadow cast by tree = (28/15)*11 = 20.533 foot.

Give the value of x .<br><br> A. 60 degrees<br> B. 180 degrees<br> C. 120 degrees<br> D. 45 degrees
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

x=120°

Step-by-step explanation:

sum of all angles in a triangle is equal to 180

let the unknown angle be

\alpha

60 + 60 +  \alpha  = 180 \\  \alpha  = 180 - 60 - 60 \\  \alpha  = 60 \\

\alpha  + x = 180 \\ x = 180 -  \alpha  \\ x = 180 - 60 \\ x = 120
