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

Please helppp 15 pointsss What is the y-coordinate of the solution for the system of equations?
Lina20 [59]

y = 3x - 1

x - y = -9


Subs y in second equation.


x - (3x - 1) = -9

x - 3x + 1 = -9

-2x = -9 - 1

-2x = -10

x = -10/-2

x = 5


Subs x


y = 3x - 1

y = 3.5 - 1

y = 15 - 1

y = 14

Why do translations produce parallel lines
pav-90 [236]

Answer:The distance between the lines stays constant, and they never intersect. In other words, you can translate (move) either line by that constant distance, in some direction, to get the other line. It's just like how when you change the y-intercept but keep the slope the same, you get parallel lines.

Step-by-step explanation:
