Answer:

33 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio of the student to their shadow and flagpole to its shadow are equal, then you can use the proportion

5.5/3 = x/18 and cross multiply to find x.

5.5 × 18 = 99

3 × x = 3x

3x/3 = x, 99/3 = 33.

x = 33.

Find x and y. Please
asambeis [7]

Answer:

x = 4       y = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

16x - 23 = 10x + 1

16x - 10x = 23 + 1

6x = 24

24/6 = x

x = 4

16(4) - 23 = 41

41 + (180 - 62) + y = 180

41 + 118 + y = 180

y = 21
