Answer: The flagpole is <u>
16 feet tall</u></h3>
==========================================================
Explanation:
The small markings for the angles in the diagram help us see how the angles pair up and how those pairs are congruent.
The square angle markers indicate we have 90 degree angles (aka right angles). That's one pair of congruent angles.
The other pair are the angles marked with small curves. We don't need to worry about the angle measure of these. All we care about is we have a second congruent pair of angles.
Having 2 sets of congruent angles allows us to use the AA (angle angle) similarity theorem.
The similar triangles allow us to set up the proportion below and isolate x.
-------------------
Let's solve for x.
6/x = 4.5/12
6*12 = x*4.5
72 = 4.5x
4.5x = 72
x = 72/(4.5)
x = 16
The flagpole is 16 feet tall.
This is somewhere between a 1 and 2 story building in terms of height.
Is there anything else on the paper that can help me with that? like any questions at the top?
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
Let f = number of friends
all but one friend got 6 pieces and 1 friend got 2 for a total of 50 pieces
6(f-1) + 2 = 50
Subtract 2 from each side
6(f-1) +2-2 = 50-2
6(f-1) = 48
Divide by 6
6(f-1)/6 = 48/6
f-1 = 8
Add 1 to each side
f-1+1=8+1
f=9
