We have two similar triangles, the one as a whole and the one inside of it. To calculate the height of the flagpole we can set up a proportion. First calculate the length of the base of the smaller triangle.

16.60 - 12.45 = 4.15m

The height is 1.65m, set up a proportion:

$\sf\dfrac{1.65}{4.15}=\dfrac{x}{16.60}$

Cross multiply:

$\sf 27.39=4.15x$

Divide 4.15 to both sides:

$\sf x=\boxed{\sf 6.6m}$

So the height of the flagpole is 6.6 meters tall.

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{14\ \text{and}\ 7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$n,\ m-\text{positive integer}\\\\n=2m-\text{a positive integer is twice another}\\\\\dfrac{1}{n}+\dfrac{1}{m}=\dfrac{3}{14}-\text{the sum of the reciprocal of the two positive integer is }\ \dfrac{3}{14}\\\\\text{We have the system of equations:}\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}n=2m&(1)\\\dfrac{1}{n}+\dfrac{1}{m}=\dfrac{3}{14}&(2)\end{array}\right$

$\text{Substitute (1) to (2):}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2m}+\dfrac{1}{m}=\dfrac{3}{14}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2m}+\dfrac{1\cdot2}{m\cdot2}=\dfrac{3}{14}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2m}+\dfrac{2}{2m}=\dfrac{3}{14}\\\\\dfrac{1+2}{2m}=\dfrac{3}{14}\\\\\dfrac{3}{2m}=\dfrac{3}{14}\Rightarrow2m=14\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\\dfrac{2m}{2}=\dfrac{14}{2}\\\\\boxed{m=7}$

$\text{Substitute it to (1):}\\\\n=2\cdot7\\\\\boxed{n=14}$

Find the area of the shaded regions below. Give your answer as a completely simplified exact value in terms of π (no approximati

Svetach [21]

Answer:

Answer:18+4.5 $\pi \\$

Step-by-step explanation:

This shape is a triangle with a semicircle connected to it

and this triangle is a right triangle so side A=B

that means the other leg is 6.Knowing that we can solve

The formula for the area of a triangle is (base×height)÷2

so that means 6×6 equals 36 and if you divide that by 2 you get the 18.

Now we will deal with the semicircle. We know that both of the legs are 6 so that means the diameter is 6 and now we solve 6 divided by 2 equals 3 and we will have to square that and we will 9 and since it is a semicircle we have to divide it by 2 and that will give us 4.5 and since we have to express it in terms of pi it will be 4.5(pi) and then we add both of the areas

giving us 18+4.5(pi)

and do you go to RSM
