A flagpole casts a shadow of 25.5 meters long. Tim stands at a distance of 15.4 meters from the base of the flagpole, such that

the end of Tim's shadow meets the end of the flagpole's shadow. If Tim is 2.3 meters tall, determine and state the height of the flagpole to the nearest tenth of a meter.

Answer:

5.8 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate this is given as:

Height/ Shadow

Shadow of the pole = 25.5 m

Height of the pole = x m

Tim's shadow = Height of the pole - Tim's distance

25.5 m - 15.4 m = 10.1 m

Tim's height = 2.3 m

Hence:

x/25.5 = 2.3/10.1

Cross Multiply

10.1x = 25.5 × 2.3

x = 25.5 × 2.3/10.1

x = 5.8069306931 m

Approximately = 5.8m

Hence, the height of the flagpole = 5.8m

If A is a square matrix of order 2, then det(-3A) is *
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

c. 9 det A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Since A is a square matrix of order 2, we know that n = 2

K = 3

For any scalar k;

∣kA∣ = k^{n} ∣A∣

<em>Substituting into the equation;</em>

∣-3A∣ = -3²∣A∣

Simplifying, we have;

∣-3A∣ = 9∣A∣

= 9 detA

<em>Therefore, det (-3A) = 9 detA</em>
