Answer:

C) x=35

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we know that the total amount of degrees in a rotation is 360. As the picture tells us, the opposite angles will be exactly the same. Taking this information, we can have the following equation:

4x + 2(3x+5) = 360

By now using our linear equation skills, we get:

10x+10=360

10x=350

x=35

The degree amount of x for c) is 35 degrees.

C. Since the angles form a linear pair, their sum equals 180.

So, 2x + 3x + 5 = 180

x=35

D. Since the angles are verticle, they equal each other.

So, 3x + 5 = 5x -57

x=31

A meter stick casts a shadow 2.4 m long at the same time a flagpole casts a shadow 9.7 m long. How tall is the flagpole

Luda [366]

The first thing we are going to do is draw a diagram of the situation to help us to solve the situation.
We an draw tow similar triangle between the length of the shadows and the height of the stick and the pole.
Since <span>meter stick has a length of 1 meter, the height of our smaller triangle is 1 meter. Let </span> $h$ be height of of the pole. Since both triangles are similiar we can establish a proportion between their corresponding sides and solve for $h$ :
$\frac{h}{1} = \frac{9.7}{2.4}$
$h=\frac{9.7}{2.4}$
$h=4.04$

We can conclude that the pole is 4.04 meters tall.
