Think of it like a triangle.

The flagpole is vertical and is at 90° to the ground. This makes a right-angle to the ground, which is flat.

Since we have two sides of the triangle already, and they are in a ratio of ?? : 16 : 20 = ?? : 4 : 5, that means that because the triangle is a right-angled triangle, the third and last side must be 3 to complete the ratio! (This is called 'Pythagoras')

Since the other sides were divided by 4 to get the simple ratio, we must multiply 3 to get the actual ratio! 3 × 4 = 12 ft tall flagpole.

What 2 numbers can be added to make 16 as well as multiplied to make -36
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

18 and -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = 1st no.

y = 2nd no.

(1)    x + y = 16            (2)     xy = -36

           y = 16 - x                 x(16 - x) = -36

                                           16x - x^{2} = -36\\x^{2}  - 16x - 36 = 0\\

                                           (x - 18)(x + 2) = 0

                                               x = 18   or x = -2

          y = 16 - 18 = -2

         y = 16 -(- 2) = 16 + 2 - 18

The two numbers are 18 and -2
