Answer:

112.81 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pole and the tower and their shadows form 2 similar triangles so their corresponding sides are in the smae ratio.

Therefore we have the relation:

1.21 / 48.75 = 2.8 / x   where x is the height of the tower.

Cross multiplying:

x = 2.8 * 48.75 / 1.21

= 112.81 m

Answer:

(0.4,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

I hope that this is for homework and not a quiz or test.

Since we already know the value of y which is 1, we can substitute it into the equation above it.

-5x+3=1

-5x=-2

x=2/5=0.4

So in (x,y) format (0.4,1)
