Answer:
$2.63
Step-by-step explanation:
$23.67/9packets
$2.63/packet
The tower is 61.65 meters tall.
<u>SOLUTION:
</u>
Given that, a pole that is 2.5 m tall casts a shadow that is 1.47 m long.
At the same time, a nearby tower casts a shadow that is 36.25 m long.
We have to find height of the tower.
Now, we know that,

Then, (let it be) n meter tall
36.25 long shadow
So, by cross multiplication method,

This can be written as,

Cross multiplications steps: (To find Single Variable)
- Multiply the numerator of the left-hand fraction by the denominator of the right-hand fraction.
- Multiply the numerator of the right-hand fraction by the denominator of the left-hand fraction.
- Set the two products equal to each other.
- Solve for the variable.
the discriminant formula is b^2-4ac
so plug the values from each equation into the formula and solve, the result is the value of the discriminant
if the number is negative, there are no real roots/x-int
if it is 0 there is one real root/x-intercepts
if it is positive it has 2 real roots/x-int
and to find the actual solutions you have to plug the values into the quadratic formula
X = 4.33333333333
y = 5.33333333333
z = 6.33333333333
