Answer:
5 is the hight
Step-by-step explanation:
Observe attached picture.
On picture we have:
A = height of flagpole = x ft
B = length of flagpole's shadow = 24 ft
C = height of sign = 6 ft
D = length of sign's shadow = 3 ft
When we draw a picture representing this problem we can also add another line marked in red. This way we can see that we have two right-angle triangles. We can see that both have same angle marked with α.
We can apply trigonometry rules to find height of flagpole.
From small triangle containing sign we can find tangens function:

Similarly we can do for large triangle containing flagpole:

We see that these two equations have same left sides. This means that their right sides must also be same:

We can solve for A:

Height of flagpole is 48 feet.

Say x is the number
7x +3 = 39 -2x
Add 2x to each side
9x +3 =39
Subtract 3 from each side
9x =36
Divide by 9 on each side
x=4
Hope this helped
It is the first one on the left ( 4 divided by 7)
