Answer:

The answer to your question is: the height of the light pole is 15 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

See the picture below

Now, we can do proportions to finds the height of the light pole

                   \frac{20}{8} =  \frac{x}{6}

Solve for x

                      x = 6(20) / 8

                     x = 120 / 8

                     x = 15 ft

What is the area of a semi circles with the diameter 20
kaheart [24]
The area of circle can be found using the formula πr² and since we know that semi circle is half the circle so its formula will be 1/2πr².

First we will find the radius.

20/2 = 10

Radius is 10.

A = 1/2(3.14)(10)²
A = 157

Hope this helps :)
