Answer:
x = 28.32 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Longer leg = 21
Shorter leg = 19
Hypotenuse = x
To Find:
Hypotenuse = x = ?
Solution:
Pythagoras Theorem States that
Substituting of the given value above equation we get
If its a parent then the answer would be 60
We can use Pythagorean's Theorem in order to find the remaining side length
a^2+b^2=c^2
Let a be the shadow length
Let b be the height of the flagpole
Let c be the hypotenuse
28^2+b^2=35^2
784+b^2=1225
b^2=1225-784
b^2=441
b=√441
b=21
Therefore the flagpole is 21 meters tall.
Hope this helps!
Hi there Maebe, since the ratio is 3:1 your answer is 96.
The ratio 3:1 is just saying Juanita has 3 times whatever Elita has. So, Elita’s 32 times 3 equals 96. :) I hope I’ve helped you. Please give me feedback if you need more help understanding!
