Step-by-step explanation:
since it is in the same line as DE, both have the same slope.
the slope is the ratio of "y coordinate change / x coordinate change" when going from one point on the line to another.
and so by using the coordinates of D and E
x changes by +4 (from 8 to 12).
y changes by -8 (from 32 to 24).
the slope is therefore
-8/+4 = -2
Let AB = t. And since X lies in the middle, so AX=BX = t/2 .
Let the height of the smaller flagpole is AO and of larger flagpole is BP .
Using tangent ratio rule in each triangle, we will get

And there ratio is

Whats the problem that you need help with
-3p^3 + 5p -2p^2 - 4 - 12p + 5 + 8p^3
5p^3 - 2p^2 - 7p + 1
It is the second choice
