Since the sum of the angles of a triangle = 180°
Then <span>80º + (2x + 2)º + 5xº = 180</span>°
82° + (7x)° = 180°
(7x)° = 180° - 82°
x = 98° ÷ 7
∴ x = 14

Answer:
22 3/4 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram seems to show a 6 1/2 ft person casting a 9 ft shadow at the same time a flagpole is casting a 31 1/2 ft shadow. You want the height of the flagpole.
<h3>Proportion</h3>
Shadow lengths are presumed proportional to the height of the object making them. This means ...
h/(31 1/2) = (6 1/2)/9 . . . . . all lengths in feet
Multiplying by 31 1/2, we get ...
h = (31 1/2)(6 1/2)/9 = (819/4)/9 = 91/4
h = 22 3/4 . . . . ft
The flagpole is 22 3/4 feet tall.
That's for the equation I got from the picture
