Answer: 97 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw 2 right triangles KLM and ABC.

ML=3.2 m  ( is a pole)  KL =1.29 m( pole's  shadow).

(The triangle KLM is right because we suppose that pole is staying vertically).

In triangle AB is tower's  shadow= 39.25 m and BC is the height og tower=x meters?

Triangles KLM and ABC are similar .

So ML/KL=x/AB

3.2/1.29=x/39.25

x=3.2*39.25/1.29= approx 97.36  meters= 97 meters

Nola hiked down a trail at a steady rate for 10 minutes. Her change in elevation was -200 feet. Then she continued to hike down
DedPeter [7]

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

The faster rate is when she hiked down 200 feet in 10 minutes.

Explanation:

The rate of change is given by the change in y over the change in x; in this case, the change in elevation over the change in time.

For the first part of the hike, the change in elevation was -200 and the change in time was 10; this gives us a rate of change of -200/10 = -20.

For the second part of the hike, the change in elevation was -300 and the change in time was 20; this gives us a rate of change of -300/20 = -15.

She hiked downhill faster during the first part of the hike, at 20 feet per minute.
