Set it up as a ratio:
mans shadow over mans height (4/6 ) equals flag pole shadow over flag pole height (15/x)
set them to equal each other:
4/6 = 15/x
cross multiply: 4*x =4x, 15*6 = 90
so you have 4x = 90
now divide both sides by 5 to solve for x, which is the height of the flag pole:
x = 90 / 4 = 22.5 feet tall
Answer:
3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Take Kitzen's number of raffle tickets and put them over Ava's tickets to give you 12/16 and the simplify which gives you 3/4 because the fraction is divisible by 4.
The value of x can be found by adding the two angles and setting them equal to 180 because they are on a straight line.
3h + 18 + 15h = 180
18h + 18 = 180
18h = 162
h = 9
So the value of h is 9
