Is the the line veritcal or horizontal,if its vertical then the slope is undefined, if its horizontal then it should be zero leading to y=4÷9 or y=0.44

A six-foot-tall person is standing next to a flagpole. The person is casting a shadow 1 1/2 feet in length, while the flagpole i

Answer: 20 ft

This problem can be solved by the Thales’s theorem, which states:

Two triangles are similar when they have equal angles and proportional sides

It should be noted that to apply Thales' Theorem, it is necessary to establish the two triangles are similar, that is, that they have the corresponding angles equal or that their sides are proportional to each other.

Now, if we measure the shadow of the flagpole and the shadow of the person, at the same moment, we can use the first Thales' Theorem to calculate the height of the flagpole, knowing the height of the person.

In this case we have two similar triangles (Figure attached) where $H$ is the height of the flagpole, $h=6 ft$ is the height of the person, $A=5 ft$ is the length of the shadow of the flagpole and $a=1\frac{1}{2}=1.5 ft$ is the length of the shadow of the person.

Having this clear, we can write the following relation with both similar triangles:

$\frac{H}{h}=\frac{A}{a}$ (1)

We know all these lengths except $H$ , which is the value we want to to find.

So, in order to approach this problem we have to find $H$ from equation (1):

$H=\frac{A}{a}h$

$H=\frac{5 ft}{1.5 ft}(6 ft)$

Then:

$H=20 ft$ >>>>>This is the height of the flagpole

What to do if quadratic equation has a negative spuare root?

alex41 [277]

If the negative square root is found to be one of your solutions, then that is indicative of a pair of imaginary roots (the imaginary i). According to the conjugate rule, if you have one solution that is imaginary, you will have another but with the opposite sign. For example, if a solution to a quadratic is found to be 2 - i, then its conjugate, 2 + i is also a solution. They will ALWAYS go in pairs. Same thing with radical solutions. If one solution is found to be $3+\sqrt{5}$
