The answer is 14 ft tall.


This can be solved using proportion:

Shalonda: 4ft Shadow: 8ft

Flagpole: x Shadow: 28


\dfrac{4ft}{8ft}=\dfrac{x}{28ft}


So we cross multiply and then divide to solve for X, or in other words, we transpose 28 ft to the other side of the equation to isolate x. Since it is division on one side, when you move it it will become multiplication.


\dfrac{(4ft)(28ft)}{8ft}=x

\dfrac{112ft^{2}}{8ft}=x

14ft=x


The flagpole is 14 ft tall.

I believe that the flagpole is 14 feet tall because Shalonda is 4 feet tall and her shadow is 8 feet long and the flagpole also is vertical like her body so the 28 foot shadow should be 1/2 of that or 14 feet and so it just seems to be using proportions to get the answer.

Although sand dumes are thr best known wind deposits accumulations of loess are very significant in some parts of the world. Wha
Reika [66]

Answer:

They are deposits of silt and mud carried by the wind.

They are found in regions close to but outside areas of glaciation.

There are deposits in Europe, North America, China, and Argentina.

Explanation:

Loess was first discovered and coined in Europe and refers to an important component of the soils of the European Plain. Loess consists of particles of silt, clay, and mud that have been carried by the wind and eventually deposited to form extensive formations.

Loess layers are not only deep but also conducive to agriculture as they are also fertile. Perhaps the most common source of loess is the glacial activity since the movement of glaciers produces a large amount of finely ground sediment on the fringes that is later picked up by the wind.

Phoenix [80]
This is a true statement!

For example, the biggest city in the Sahara (admittedly placed on the edge of it, on the Atlantic coast) is Nouakchott, the capital of Mauritania - it has 1 million people, so a great portion of the 2.5 million.
Another big city is Ghardaia in Algeria - of 100 000 people.
