Hi there! To solve this question, we can write and solve a proportion. We put shadow/height = shadow/x. We do this, because we're looking for the height of the pole and we already know the how big the shadow of the pole is. The yards need to be converted to feet. There are 3 feet in one yard and 3 * 7/3 is 21/3 or 7 in simplest form. The pole casts a shadow 7 feet tall. Plug in the numbers like this: 3/6 = 7/x. Cross multiply the values in order to get 3x = 42. now, you divide each side by 3 to isolate the "x". When you, you get x = 14. There. The height of the pole is 14 feet. The answer is C: 14 feet.
Answer:
CB = 5, 
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that the marks next to angle D mean that 
, then there is enough information to conclude that the two right triangles are congruent (HA theorem--hypotenuse/angle).
Then all the corresponding parts of the two triangles are congruent, including segments BA and BC, making them the same length.
4x + 1 = 9x - 4
Solving for x,
1 = 5x - 4
5 = 5x
1 = x
Pluggint x = 1 into the two expressions reveals that the length of segment CB is 5.
The two small angles at D are congruent, so 
.
