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

Ou have traveled 25 miles in 2 minutes and come to a standstill. What was your initial velocity?
Illusion [34]
If you traveled 25 miles in 2 minutes, your average speed was 25 miles per 2 minutes or 750 miles per hour. If your rate of deceleration was constant, your initial speed was two times 750 miles per hour or 1500 mph. 

<span>I do not have enough information to determine your initial velocity because I don't know what direction you were going, and velocity is speed with direction.</span>

Complete the table for the given rule. Rule: y = x + 3
devlian [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

since there is no table included with the question I'm concluding that you need to find values of y using values of x, simply substitute the x values in the equation and you'll get the y value like this

if x = 1 y = 4
