Answer:
p =2 p=-18
Step-by-step explanation:
|p+8|
-------------- = 5
2
Multiply each side by 2
|p+8|
-------------*2 = 5*2
2
|p+8| =10
There is a positive and a negative solution
p+8=10 p+8=-10
Subtract 8 from each side
p+8-8=10-8 p+8-8=-10-8
p =2 p=-18
Answer:
22 3/4 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram seems to show a 6 1/2 ft person casting a 9 ft shadow at the same time a flagpole is casting a 31 1/2 ft shadow. You want the height of the flagpole.
<h3>Proportion</h3>
Shadow lengths are presumed proportional to the height of the object making them. This means ...
h/(31 1/2) = (6 1/2)/9 . . . . . all lengths in feet
Multiplying by 31 1/2, we get ...
h = (31 1/2)(6 1/2)/9 = (819/4)/9 = 91/4
h = 22 3/4 . . . . ft
The flagpole is 22 3/4 feet tall.
