Dimensions of rectangle = 12 + x and 14 + x

(12 + x) (14 + x) = 288

 x^2 + 26x + 168 = 288

 x^2 + 26x - 120 = 0


(x + 30) (x - 4) = 0

x=-30, x =4

 since 4 is positive

 the dimensions increased by 4 feet

check the answer

12+4 = 16

14 +4 = 18

18*16 =288

I need help with this question ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The height of the flag pole is 51 ft.

Solution:

Paul creates the smaller triangle and flag pole creates the larger triangle.

Base of smaller triangle = 10 ft

Height of smaller triangle = 6 ft

Base of the larger triangle = 85 ft

Let the height of the flagpole be h.

$\Rightarrow \frac{6}{10} =\frac{h}{85}

Multiply by 85 on both sides.

$\Rightarrow 85 \times \frac{6}{10} =\frac{h}{85}  \times85

$\Rightarrow \frac{510}{10} =h

⇒ 51 = h

The height of the flag pole is 51 ft.
