Hi please help with give you points and brainliest problem is pretty simple

Answer 1

Answer:

The height of the flagpole is 36.363 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be represented geometrically by two similar right triangles, represented in the image attached below. By definition of similarity, we construct the following relationship:

$\frac{4\,ft}{5.5\,ft} = \frac{x}{50\,ft}$ (1)

Where $x$ is the height of the flagpole, measured in feet.

Lastly, we find the required value:

$x = \left(\frac{4\,ft}{5.5\,ft} \right)\cdot (50\,ft)$

$x = 36.363\,ft$

The height of the flagpole is 36.363 feet.
