Answer:

22.1 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The shadow is formed at a specific factor of the original image hence if a 5 feet tall man casts a shadow rhat is 4 1/3 feet long then a  telephone pole casts a shadow that is 25.5 feet long must have a length

5 / 4 1/3 = x / 25.5

where x is the length of the pole

5 / 13/3 = x/ 25.5

15/13 = x/25.5

cross multiply

15 * x = 13 * 25.5

Divide both sides by 15

x = 13 * 25.5 / 15

x = 22.1 inches

The telephone pole in inches is 22.1 long

An octagon has side length 10.9 in. The perimeter of the octagon is 87.2 in cm and the area is 392.4 in2. A second octagon has c
Lana71 [14]
If the figures/solids are similar, the ratio of the areas is equal to the square of the ratio of the corresponding sides. Let x be the area of the second figure. The equation that would best allow us to answer this item is,
                      (394.2 in² / x in²) = (10.9 / 21.8)²
The value of x from the equation is 1576.8 in².

Thus, the nearest answer is the second choice.
