According to the rule of similar polygons the ratio of corresponding sides of two polygons will be the same. So in this case the ratio of original length and shadow of a stick and ratio of length of flagpole and its shadow will be the same.
Length of Stick = 5 feet
Shadow of Stick = 8 feet
Shadow of flagpole = 32 feet
Length of flagpole = x = ?
Using rule of similar polygon we can write,

Therefore, the length of flagpole will be 20 feet.
Answer:
3. A=B=70°; C=D=110°
4. A=90°; C=48°
Step-by-step explanation:
Same-side angles of a trapezoid add to 180°.
___
3. (2x) +(x+15) = 180
3x + 15 = 180 . . . . simplify
x +5 = 60 . . . . . . . divide by 3
x = 55
A=B=(x+15)° = (55+15)° = 70°
C=D=2x° = 2·55° = 110°
__
4. You are given the values of one of the angles on each side, so the other can be found by subtraction:
A=180°-D = 90°
C = 180° -132° = 48°
Answer:
increase - $2256
price - $50256
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply the percent (in decimal form) by the original cost
48000(0.47)=2256
the increase is $2256
to find the price of it, add the two prices together.
48000+2256=50256
Assuming the order does not matter, you want the number of combinations of 9 things taken 5 at a time. The combinations can be shown as C(9,5), 9C5.
C(9, 5) =
9/5(9-5) =
9*8*7*6*5 / 5*4
The 5 terms cancel.
9*8*7*6 / 4*3*2 =
9*7*2 =
126
The above change is because 4*2 cancels the 8 in the numerator and 6/3 = 2
Therefore, the solution is 126.
