Answer:

he only answer that makes sense is 15 feet....

The larger right triangle has leg 20 feet by 15 feet, while the smaller has legs 8 and x

20/15 = 8/x

20x = 120

x = 6

so the man is 6 feet tall.

Therefore the pole is 15 feet

How do subtract whole numbers with fractions
Mariana [72]
You put the whole number over 1 then multiply so both fractions have the same denominator.
Example:
2- 1/2

2/1 -1/2

4/2 - 1/2 = 3/2 = 1 1/2

I’m not sure if this helped but I hope it did

What is the y-coordinate of point W?<br><br> PLS ASAP
sweet [91]
<h3>Answer:  -1.5</h3>

============================================================

Explanation:

Draw a horizontal line from W to the y axis. You should arrive somewhere between -1 and -2. While this isn't exact, it looks like we should arrive right at the middle of -1 and -2; therefore we should get to -1.5

The y coordinate of W is -1.5

Keep in mind this is based on the assumption we reach the halfway point. Unfortunately, W is not on any horizontal grid lines to be able to determine exactly where W is along the y axis.
