Shadow of the flagpole=23.5f
Sf=23.5
shadow of gilbert=7.5f
Sg=7.5
height of gilbert=5.5f
hg=5.5
Sf/hf=Sg/hg
23.5/hf=7.5/5.5
23.5*5.5/7.5=hf
(47/2*11/2)/7.5=hf
(517/4)/(30/4)=hf
(517*4)/(4*30)=hf
517/30=hf
17+7/30=hf
17.233.. feet=height of flagpole

If the sum of four consecutive numbers is 854, what is the third one?
lukranit [14]

Answer:

214

Step-by-step explanation:

The set up would be x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) = 854, naturally as the numbers are consecutive. Solving for x:

x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) = 854,

x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 = 854,

4x + 1 + 2 + 3 = 854,

4x + 6 = 854,

4x = 854 - 6 = 848,

x = 848/4 = 212

The third number then should be 212 + 2 = 214
