<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.

Damm [24]

Answer: Width = 24 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let W represent the width of the rectangular sign.

The length of a rectangular sign is 6 inches more than half its width. It means that the length of the rectangular sign would be

W/2 + 6

The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as

Area = length × width

The area of the sign is 432 square inches. Therefore, the equation for the area of this sign would be

W(W/2 + 6) = 432

W²/2 + 6W = 432

Multiplying both sides of the equation by 2, it becomes

W² + 12W = 864

W² + 12W - 864 = 0

W² + 36W - 24W - 864 = 0

W(W + 36) - 24(W + 36) = 0

W - 24 = 0 or W + 36 = 0

W = 24 or W = - 36

Since W cannot be negative, then

W = 24

mart [117]

Answer:

Sampling bias

Step-by-step explanation:

Bias refers a prominent problem in statistical analysis whereby one or more analytical factor are favored than the other during an analysis which should be made random. The problem. With Graham's dissertation study is the fact that he failed to randomlyvplace his subjects or observation in the study groups, favoring a particular group with non random subset. When randomization is ejected or missing from an analysis or study, it becomes less and less representative. Here, allotting early Arrivals Into the treatment group has introduced a sampling bias as those who came later, this will also leads to less reproducibility of experiment.
