<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.

Feliz [49]

Answer:

The greatest number of stamps that Nathan can put on each page = 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Nathan has:

80 US stamps

64 Canadian stamps

32 Mexican stamps

The stamps need to put on a page such that each page has same number of same country stamps on each page.

To find the greatest number of stamps he can put on each page.

Solution:

In order to find the greatest number of stamps Nathan can put on each page, we will find the G.C.F. of the three numbers.

The numbers are:

80,64,32

<em>We will list down the prime factors of each number.</em>

80=2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 5

64=2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2

32=2\times 2\times2\times 2\times 2

The G.C.F can be given as = 2\times 2\times 2\times 2 = 16

Thus, the greatest number of stamps that Nathan can put on each page = 16.
