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

Solve the triangle. Round lengths to the nearest tenth and angle measures to the nearest degree. B = 15° C = 113° b = 49
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

  A = 52°, a = 149.2, c = 174.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Technology is useful for this. Many graphing calculators can solve triangles for you. The attachment shows a phone app that does this, too.

___

The Law of Sines can give you the value of c, so you can choose the correct answer from those offered.

  c = sin(C)·b/sin(B) = sin(113°)·49/sin(15°) ≈ 174.271 ≈ 174.3 . . . . . third choice
