Ratio of height of the flag pole to the length of its shadow = 40:9.6 = 25:6
Ratio of height of the building to the length of its shadow = x:48 = 25:6
x/48 = 25/6
x = (48 x 25)/6 = 1200/6 = 200

Therefore, the height of the building is 200 feet.

A company is creating a box without a top from a piece of cardboard, but cutting out square corners with side length x.
Volgvan
Answer: Choice B) The expression (10-2x)(30-2x)x represents the volume of the box

----------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------

The original width is 10 inches. The width reduces to 10-2x inches after we cut off the top two corners of the rectangle. We can think of it as taking 10 and subtracting off two copies of x like so: 10-x-x = 10-2x

Similarly, the length goes from 30 inches to 30-2x inches. This time we're taking off the top and bottom corners (focus on either side it doesn't matter). 

The height of the box is x inches due to this portion being folded up. 

Volume of box = (width)*(length)*(height)
Volume of box = (10-2x)(30-2x)x

Note: the units for the answer are in cubic inches which can be written as "in^3" (inches cubed).
