Answer:

True

How far above ground is the flag pole in inches? Round to nearest inch if needed

VikaD [51]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You'll use similar triangles to solve this. Set up 2 ratios as a proportion. First, however, you have to convert the 15 inches to feet. If everything else is in feet, then EVERYTHING has to be in feet. 15 inches is equal to 1.25 feet. Now for the equation:

$\frac{3}{x} =\frac{1.25}{6}$

The first fraction is made up of the heights, 3 being the height of the plumb bob and x being our unknown height of the flagpole; the second fraction is made up of the distances on the ground. Cross multiply to solve:

1.25x = 18 so

x = 14.4 feet, or 14 feet, 4.8 inches

How you solve this ?

jonny [76]

You have to use Pythagorean theorem

12^2+20^2 = x^2

sqrt(144*400) = x^2
sqrt(544) = x

X = 4 sqrt(34)

Help please! the question is in the picture below for reference when answering! thank you so much!

stepan [7]

Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

AB + BC = AC = 28

the way from A to C goes through B.

so, the total way of A to C is the sum of the way from A to B and then from B to C.

(5x + 10) + (2x + 25) = 28

7x + 35 = 28

7x = -7

x = -1
