Answer:

h  =  16 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras´ theorem establishes, that in a right triangle square of the hypothenuse (c²) is the sum of leg ( b²)  plus  leg  (a²)

Then

c²  =  a²  +  b²

where according to the problem statement

(20)²  =  h²  +  (12)²           (  h is the height of the flagpole )

h²  =  400 -  144

h²  =  256

h  =  √ 256

h  =  16 feet

Greeley [361]
Let the price of 1 liter of milk be m, and let the price of 1 loaf of bread be b.

3 liters of milk cost 3m.
5 loaves of bread cost 5b.
The total is $11.
That gives us the first equation:

3m + 5b = 11

4 liters of milk cost 4m.
4 loaves of bread cost 4b.
The total is $10.
That gives us the second equation:

4m + 4b = 10

We have a system of two equations.

3m + 5b = 11
4m + 4b = 10

Multiply the first equation by -4.
Multiply the second equation by 3.
Then, add the equations.

      -12m - 20b = -44
  +   12m + 12b = 30
---------------------------
                   -8b = -14

b = 14/8 = 7/4 = 1.75

Now substitute b with 1.75 in the first original equation.

3m + 5b = 11

3m + 5(1.75) = 11

3m + 8.75 = 11

3m = 2.25

m = 0.75

Answer: A liter of milk costs $0.75, and a loaf of brad costs $1.75.
