Answer:
22 3/4 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram seems to show a 6 1/2 ft person casting a 9 ft shadow at the same time a flagpole is casting a 31 1/2 ft shadow. You want the height of the flagpole.
<h3>Proportion</h3>
Shadow lengths are presumed proportional to the height of the object making them. This means ...
h/(31 1/2) = (6 1/2)/9 . . . . . all lengths in feet
Multiplying by 31 1/2, we get ...
h = (31 1/2)(6 1/2)/9 = (819/4)/9 = 91/4
h = 22 3/4 . . . . ft
The flagpole is 22 3/4 feet tall.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Figure 1
- 3 = 4 - 1 = 2² - 1 = (1 + 1)² - 1
Figure 2
- 8 = 9 - 1 = 3² - 1 = (2 + 1)² - 1
Figure 3
- 15 = 16 - 1 = 4² - 1 = (3 + 1)² - 1
