How far above ground is the flag pole in inches? Round to nearest inch if needed

Mathematics
1 answer:
VikaD [51]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You'll use similar triangles to solve this. Set up 2 ratios as a proportion. First, however, you have to convert the 15 inches to feet. If everything else is in feet, then EVERYTHING has to be in feet. 15 inches is equal to 1.25 feet. Now for the equation:

\frac{3}{x} =\frac{1.25}{6}

The first fraction is made up of the heights, 3 being the height of the plumb bob and x being our unknown height of the flagpole; the second fraction is made up of the distances on the ground. Cross multiply to solve:

1.25x = 18 so

x = 14.4 feet, or 14 feet, 4.8 inches

Find the area of the shaded region
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

area of shaded region = area of whole figure - area of non shaded region

area of whole figure: The whole figure is a rectangle

The area of a rectangle can simply be calculated by multiplying the width by the length

The given width is 10ft and the given length is 8ft

Hence area of whole figure = 10 * 8 = 80ft²

Area of non shaded region: the non shaded region also creates a rectangle

Like stated previously the area of a rectangle can simply be calculated by multiplying the width by the length

The given width is 5ft and the given length is 8ft

Hence, area of non shaded region = 5 * 8 = 40ft²

Finally we can find the area of the shaded region.

We can easily do this my subtracting the area of the nonshaded region from the area of the whole figure

If we have identified that the area of the whole figure is 80 and the area of the non shaded region is 40

Then, area of shaded region = 80 - 40 = 40ft²
