Answer:

51m

Step-by-step explanation:

-Paul is 6ft, and has a 10ft shadow. The pole has a 85ft shadow:

-Using ratios:

\frac{Height\ of \ object}{Height\ of \  shadow}

Let h be the height of the flagpole:

=>\frac{6}{10}=\frac{h}{85}\\\\h=\frac{6\times 85}{10}\\\\h=51

Hence, the height of the pole is 51m

galben [10]

Answer:

First rectangular solid and second Rectangular solid

1. Bases are in the form of square having same dimensions

2. Height of first rectangular solid=2 ×Height of second rectangular solid

The true statements are

A) The bases are congruent.→The meaning of term congruent is that , the two bases are in the shape of square having same dimensions.

(B) No, The solids are not similar.as ratio of side lengths in not same in each case , because the ratio of heights of two solid is equal to .

(D) Volume of first solid = x *x*2 H=2 x²H

Volume of second solid = x*x*H=x²H

Ratio of volumes =2:1

So, option (D) is true.

(E) Surface area of first solid =2[x*x+x*2 H+2 H*x]

=2[x²+4 H*x]=2 *x*[x+4* H]

Surface area of second solid = 2[x*x+x* H+ H*x]=2[x²+2 H*x]=2* x*[x+ 2*H]

Option A, D, E are correct about two solids.
