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.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
13 + 1.04 = $14.04
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to figure out how much money was left in the account after the interest was withdrawn, we have to first find out how much money was initially deposited to earn that amount of interest! The means to find that initial investment is found in the simple interest formula
prt = I, where
p is the initial investement,
r is the interest rate in decimal form,
t is the time in years, and
I is the interest earned. Notice that we have all those things but the p.
Filling in:
p(.0425)(4) = 2380 and
.17p = 2380 so
p = 14000
That means that 14000 was initially invested. If the depositor withdrew the 2380, then
14000 - 2380 is the amount left in the account, namely, $11620
