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

GUYS please
Advocard [28]

Answer:

2.64

Step-by-step explanation:

0.9(x + 1.4) - 2.3 + 0.1x = 1.6

0.9x + 1.26 -2.3 + 0.1x - 1.6 = 0

(0.9x + 0.1x) + (1.26 - 2.3 - 1.6) = 0  

x - 2.64 = 0

x = 2.64
