Y=kx
12=15k
12/15=k
12/15=0.8
16=0.8x
16/0.8=x
16/0.8=20
to check 20*0.8=16

What is the height of the flagpole in the diagram below

Olegator [25]

Answer: The height of the flagpole is 12 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the flagpole be 'H'.

So, from the figure, we can conclude that, the height and shadow of the flagpole is in proportion to the height and shadow of the stick.

Given:

Height of stick is,

Shadow of the stick is,

Shadow of the flagpole is,

Now, as these are in proportion, we have

Plug in the given values and solve for 'H'. This gives,

Hence, the height of the flagpole is 12 feet.

Three lines of crops in a garden form a triangular shape. Strawberries are planted in a 10 ft line and green beans are planted i

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

$p = 19.18$

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is illustrated using the attachment and will be solved using cosine formula

$a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bcCosA$

<em>Let the strawberry side be s, the Green beans be b and the pumpkins be p.</em>

<em />

The cosine formula in this case is:

$g^2 = s^2 + p^2 - 2spCosG$

Where

$s = 10$

$g = 18$

The equation becomes

$18^2 = 10^2 + p^2 - 2 * 10 * p * Cos\ 68$

$324 = 100 + p^2 - 20 * p * 0.375$

$324 = 100 + p^2 - 7.5p$

Collect Like Terms

$p^2 - 7.5p + 100 - 324 = 0$

$p^2 - 7.5p - 224 = 0$

Using quadratic formula:

$p = \frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Where

$a = 1$

$b = -7.5$

$c = -224$

$p = \frac{-(-7.5)\±\sqrt{(-7.5)^2-4*1*-224}}{2*1}$

$p = \frac{7.5\±\sqrt{56.25+896}}{2}$

$p = \frac{7.5\±\sqrt{952.25}}{2}$

$p = \frac{7.5\± 30.86}{2}$

$p = \frac{7.5 + 30.86}{2}$ or $p = \frac{7.5 - 30.86}{2}$

$p = \frac{38.36}{2}$ or $p = \frac{-23.36}{2}$

$p = 19.18$ or $p = -11.68$

But length can not be negative.

So:

$p = 19.18$

What is the measure of angle A, in degrees, in the figure shown?

Serggg [28]

Answer:

12.7 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 180 degrees in a straight line, and since the angle opposite a is 167.3, we subtract that from 180 and we get 12.7
