Answer:

20 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the given pictorial representation below,

The Height of the Pole =|AB|

The Height of the Person =|DE|

Shadow cast by the Pole =|AC|

Shadow cast by the Person =|EC|

Triangles ABC and DEC are similar triangles therefore,

\frac{|DE|}{|AB|} =\frac{|EC|}{|AC|}

\frac{6}{x} =\frac{1.5}{5}

Cross multiplying

x X 1.5 = 6 X 5

x=30/1.5 =20 feet

Height of the flag pole = 20 feet

san4es73 [151]
9^2 × 9^6=9^10/9^2

When multiplying exponents, if the bases are the same you add the exponents.
9^2 × 9^6 = 9^(2+6)=9^8

When dividing exponents, I'd the bases are the same you subtract the bottom exponent from the top.
9^10/9^2=9^(10-2)=9^8

9^8=9^8

Solution: 9^10 over 9^2
