X best represents
the width must be x so that the length can be 12+x meaning that the length is greater than length by 12
9,240 yards = 5.25, or 5 1/4 miles.
To find 29/9 as a mixed number you need to find out how many times does 9 fit in 29
9
18
27
36
We see that it fits 3 time 3 is your whole #
We also see that 29 - 27 = 3 so you write like this:
3 3/9
The denominator of the original fraction does change
<h3>
Answer: Approximately 119.76 meters</h3>
===================================================
Work Shown:
x = starting length of the shadow
y = height of the pole
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(58) = y/x
1.6003345 = y/x
1.6003345x = y
x = y/1.6003345
x = (1/1.6003345)y
x = 0.62486936y
-------------------------
When the angle changes, the adjacent side gets 90 meters longer
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(36) = y/(x+90)
0.72654253 = y/(0.62486936y+90)
0.72654253(0.62486936y+90) = y
0.453994166y + 65.3888277 = y
65.3888277 = y-0.453994166y
65.3888277 = 0.546005834y
0.546005834y = 65.3888277
y = 65.3888277/0.546005834
y = 119.758478075162
y = 119.76
The height of the pole is about 119.76 meters.
