<h3>Answer: Approximately 119.76 meters</h3>

===================================================

Work Shown:

x = starting length of the shadow

y = height of the pole

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(58) = y/x

1.6003345 = y/x

1.6003345x = y

x = y/1.6003345

x = (1/1.6003345)y

x = 0.62486936y

-------------------------

When the angle changes, the adjacent side gets 90 meters longer

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(36) = y/(x+90)

0.72654253 = y/(0.62486936y+90)

0.72654253(0.62486936y+90) = y

0.453994166y + 65.3888277 = y

65.3888277 = y-0.453994166y

65.3888277 = 0.546005834y

0.546005834y = 65.3888277

y = 65.3888277/0.546005834

y = 119.758478075162

y = 119.76

The height of the pole is about 119.76 meters.

PLS HELP ME ILL MARK BRAINLIST IF SOMEONE CAN HELP ME WITH THESE 2 QUESTIONS!!
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

1. Andrew grew 4 5/12 inches in 2 years

2. Abbey rode her bike for 3 3/8 hours in 2 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

When adding fractions you must have a common denominator for both of them.

First make the mixed fraction, improper fractions.

1 3/4 = 7/4

2 2/3 = 8/3

7/4 x 3/3 = 21/12

8/3 x 4/4 = 32/12

21 + 32 = 53

53/12 = 4 5/12

1 3/4 = 7/4

1 5/8 = 13/8

7/4 x 4/4 = 28/16

13/8 x 2/2 = 26/16

26 + 28 = 54

54/16 = 3 3/8

I hope this helped and if it did I would appreciate it if you marked me Brainliest. Thank you and have a nice day!
