Answer:
h = 16 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Pythagoras´ theorem establishes, that in a right triangle square of the hypothenuse (c²) is the sum of leg ( b²) plus leg (a²)
Then
c² = a² + b²
where according to the problem statement
(20)² = h² + (12)² ( h is the height of the flagpole )
h² = 400 - 144
h² = 256
h = √ 256
h = 16 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
WX is parallel to YZ and WZ is also parallel to XY
4 + 3s – 9s = 22
4 - 6s = 22
-6s = 18
-6s/-6 = 18/-6
s = -3
S would equal -3
