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

D = 2C
J = 1/3D
J = C - 1

J = 1/3D
J = 1/3(2C)
J = 2/3C

2/3C = C - 1
2/3C - 3/3C = -1
-1/3C = -1
C = -1 * -3
C = 3...there are 3 cats

J = C - 1
J = 3 - 1
J = 2.....there are 2 collars
