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

Jan buys 3 bags of beads. Each bag contains 7 beads. Draw a bar diagram and write an addition equation and a multiplication equa
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

  - The diagram bar is attached.

  - Addition equation:  7+7+7=21

  - Multiplication equation: (3)(7)=21

  -  How are the equation related? Each equation shows 3 groups of 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Jan buys 3 bags of beads and each bag contains 7 beads, then, you can draw the bar diagram shown attached.

 Observe that the diagram has 3 blocks (each block represents a bag of bead) and there is a number 7 inside of each block (which is the number of beads contained in a bag).

Therefore:

- Add the numbers inside the blocks in order to get the addition equation that shows the number of  beads Jan buys. This is:

7+7+7=21

- Multiply 3 blocks by 7 in order to get multiplication equation that show the number of beads Jan buys:

(3)(7)=21

The equations are related. Each one shows 3 groups of 7.

ABC and CBH are right angles

DBC = 90 - 37 = 53
CBJ = 90 - 31 = 59

HBD = 180 - 37 = 143
or
HBD = 31 + 53 + 59 = 143 :)
