A six-foot-tall person is standing next to a flagpole. The person is casting a shadow 1 1/2 feet in length, while the flagpole i

Answer: 20 ft

This problem can be solved by the Thales’s theorem, which states:

<em>Two triangles are similar when they have equal angles and proportional sides </em>

It should be noted that to apply Thales' Theorem, it is necessary to establish <u>the two triangles are similar</u>, that is, that t<u>hey have the corresponding angles equal or that their sides are proportional to each other. </u>

<u />

Now, if we measure the shadow of the flagpole and the shadow of the person, <u>at the same moment</u>, we can use the first Thales' Theorem to calculate the height of the flagpole, knowing the height of the person.

In this case we have two similar triangles (Figure attached) where $H$ is the height of the flagpole, $h=6 ft$ is the height of the person, $A=5 ft$ is the length of the shadow of the flagpole and $a=1\frac{1}{2}=1.5 ft$ is the length of the shadow of the person.

Having this clear, we can write the following relation with both similar triangles:

$\frac{H}{h}=\frac{A}{a}$ (1)

We know all these lengths except $H$ , which is the value we want to to find.

So, in order to approach this problem we have to find $H$ from equation (1):

$H=\frac{A}{a}h$

$H=\frac{5 ft}{1.5 ft}(6 ft)$

Then:

$H=20 ft$ >>>>>This is the height of the flagpole

The Niagara Falls ferris wheel has a diameter of 48 meters, and one revolution takes 2.25 minutes to complete. Riders can see Ni

Yanka [14]

The time intervals when the riders could see Niagara falls are; 0.834 < t < 1.416 and (3.084, 3.666)

<h3>How to interpret Cycle Graphs?</h3>

From the diagram attached, we can say that;

Period = 2π/k

where;

k = 2π/2.25

k = 8π/9

Thus;

h(t) = -(48/2) cos (8π/9)t + ((48/2) + 0.5)

h(t) = -24cos (8π/9)t + 24.5

Riders can see Niagara falls if they are higher than 41 meters above the ground. Thus;

41 = -24cos (8π/9)t + 24.5

41 - 24.5 = -24cos (8π/9)t

16.5 = -24cos (8π/9)t

-0.6875 = cos (8π/9)t

cos⁻¹0.6875 = (8π/9)t

t = 0.834 min

Thus, time interval is between;

0.834 < t < (2.25 - 0.834)

⇒ 0.834 < t < 1.416 and

(2.25 + 0.834) < t < (2.25 + 1.416)

⇒ (3.084, 3.666)

What is a 2c − 5b − c a − b simplified?

timama [110]

All you have to do is combine like terms. 2c and (-c) are like terms (-5b) and (-b) are like terms and a is a term. So, 2c combined with (-c) is C. (-5b) and (-b) combined is (-6b). Since a doesnt need to be combined with anything, you leave it as it is so your answer will then be c - 6b + a (this is the answer assuming that there is a + in front of the a. If there is a - sign, then just change your +a to -a at the end
