The height of flagpole is 49.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Shadow casted by streetlight = 2 foot

Height of streetlight = 9 feet

Ratio of shadow to height = 2:9

Shadow casted by flagpole = 11 foot

Let,

x be the height of flagpole

Ratio of shadow to height = 11:x

Using proportion

Ratio of shadow to height :: Ratio of shadow to height

2:9::11:x

Product of mean = Product of extreme

9*11=2*x\\99=2x\\2x=99

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{99}{2}\\x=49.5

The height of flagpole is 49.5 feet.

natita [175]

Answer:

In the given shapes above, we can see that all shapes have four sides.

Above geometrical shapes could be named as Rectangles, parallelogram or quadrilateral.

First two shapes are Rectangles.

Third is a parallelogram.

Fourth and fifth shapes are Rectangles again.

Also we can say all those shapes with four side as quadrilaterals. (Note: A quadrilateral has four sides.)

Below shown shape has only three sides in it.

It is called a triangle when a shape has three sided close figure.

So, we could drag : Not similar - Different Type of shape.
