Think of it like a triangle.
The flagpole is vertical and is at 90° to the ground. This makes a right-angle to the ground, which is flat.
Since we have two sides of the triangle already, and they are in a ratio of ?? : 16 : 20 = ?? : 4 : 5, that means that because the triangle is a right-angled triangle, the third and last side must be 3 to complete the ratio! (This is called 'Pythagoras')
Since the other sides were divided by 4 to get the simple ratio, we must multiply 3 to get the actual ratio!
3 × 4 = 12 ft tall flagpole.
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
this is more of a mind game. Lots of words to throw you off. Daily a cow produces a mean of 6.2 gallons (average of 6.2 gallons, meaning they already found the mean, "averaged" it out for you) with a deviation of .7 gallons ("give or take" .7 gallons). On any given day (throw these words out) 68% of the cows (don't need this information to answer the question either, thrown in to confuse you) will produce an amount of milk within which of the following ranges? Just subtract the deviation ("give or take number") .7 gallons from the mean (average (already determined)) 6.2 gallons which is 5.5 gallons THEN add the deviation ("give or take number") .7 gallons to the mean (average (already determined)) 6.2 gallons which is 6.9 gallons. Your answer is A 5.5 gallons to 6.9 gallons. You don't even have to go crazy on the math on this question you can rule them all out but A immediately with subtracting .7 from 6.2. Mind games .... LOL sneaky.
I think it would be c if it were a greater rate I don't know if i am right I'll check back with you guys on the answer
