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.

Solve the following equation for <br><br><br> G:2 (g-h) = b+4
Klio2033 [76]

If the equation 2(g - h) = b + 4 is solved for g. Then the value of g will be b/2 + h + 2.

<h3>What is the solution of the equation?</h3>

A combination of equations solution is a collection of values x, y, z, etc. that enable all of the calculations to true at the same time.

The equation is given below.

2(g - h) = b + 4

Then solve the equation for the value of g. Then we have

2(g - h) = b + 4

   g - h = b/2 + 2

        g = h + b/2 + 2

More about the solution of the equation link is given below.

Find the area of the figure.
ipn [44]

Answer:

89m

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the area of the rectangle (ignoring the missing triangle inside). The area of the rectangle is its base times its height, which is 8*13=104.

Next, find the area of the triangle. The area of the triangle is its base times height, divided by two.

The width of one side of the rectangle is 13, and the width of the side of the rectangle is 8 (4 + 4). Therefore, subtract 8 from 13 and the missing section in the side of the rectangle is 5. 5 is equal to the base of the triangle.

The height of the triangle is given, which is 6. As stated before, the area of a triangle is its base times height divided by two, which is 5*6/2 in this case. The area of the triangle is equal to 15.

Now, subtract the area of the triangle from the area of the rectangle. 104-15=89.

valkas [14]
The cos of an angle and the sine of its complement are the same number.
Spend a couple of minutes looking at a right triangle, and reviewing the definitions of sin and cos, and you'll see why.
