Observe attached picture.
On picture we have:
A = height of flagpole = x ft
B = length of flagpole's shadow = 24 ft
C = height of sign = 6 ft
D = length of sign's shadow = 3 ft
When we draw a picture representing this problem we can also add another line marked in red. This way we can see that we have two right-angle triangles. We can see that both have same angle marked with α.
We can apply trigonometry rules to find height of flagpole.
From small triangle containing sign we can find tangens function:
Similarly we can do for large triangle containing flagpole:
We see that these two equations have same left sides. This means that their right sides must also be same:
We can solve for A:
Height of flagpole is 48 feet.

Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Newton's third law states that for every force, there is an equal and opposite reaction. For example, if you collide two objects together, all of the forces in the system would cancel out because energy conserved with the opposite and equal reactions.
Between two examples (2 identical billiard balls and 2 different toy cars), the easiest way to demonstrate Newton's third law is using the 2 balls, since they are identical in shape and mass. When pushing the two balls in the exact same way with the SAME force, the net force of the equation is basically 0;
Therefore, A is correct.
If you pushed a toy car and a toy truck towards each other using the same force, the outcome would not be completely opposite since F = ma and masses are different. Instead, to have a completely opposite and equal reaction, the resulting direction and forces are different. The lighter car would accelerate more in the opposite direction to compensate for the lighter mass. Therefore, B is wrong because even though they are different sizes, newton's third law still happens in the resulting direction and forces, but are simply harder to explain due to so many differing factors.
C is wrong, because diameter of two objects has no correlation to the net force equations. Even if two objects have the same diameter, they could have different masses, shapes, elasticity, etc.
D is wrong, because it goes against Newton's 3rd law. Newton's 3rd law is a LAW. Meaning, it is ALWAYS true (unless in some distant future it's disproven). In any and every collision, energy is conserved in some way that net forces equal 0; either in friction, gravitational force, or resulting force, the net force is always 0.

Explanation of answer: since theta is the unknown, then you must use the inverse of sin. (Which is sin with -1 subscript) I used a calculator and used inverse of sin and put 4/5 in parenthesis
