3 feet? maybe. This question was confusing to read.
Answer: It’s the second one!
Explanation: The dot is open and pointing to the side of the numbers greater than -3. It has to be an open dot because it is “greater than -3” not “greater than or equal to-3”! :)
This is a geometric sequence, so use the formula for the sum of a geometric sequence:
Sum = (a(r^n - 1))/(r - 1)
where a is the first term, -5
r is the common ratio, 5
and n is the number of terms
Thus,
Sum = ((-5)(5^6 - 1))/(5-1) = -19530
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.
