According to the rule of similar polygons the ratio of corresponding sides of two polygons will be the same. So in this case the ratio of original length and shadow of a stick and ratio of length of flagpole and its shadow will be the same.
Length of Stick = 5 feet
Shadow of Stick = 8 feet
Shadow of flagpole = 32 feet
Length of flagpole = x = ?
Using rule of similar polygon we can write,
Therefore, the length of flagpole will be 20 feet.
Considering High School level question, answer can be written as:
A system of 2 linear equations is [two] dimensional. It is a graph of [two] lines. The solutions can be [unique] solution if the graph intersects. [No] solution if the lines are parallel - meaning they have the same slope, or [Infinitely many] solutions if they are the same line.
Explanation:
when two lines are drawn on a two-dimensional plane then there are only three possible cases:
Case1: lines will intersect
In that case you will get a unique solution at the intersection point.
Case2: lines are parallel but don't touch each other
In that case there will be no point which lies on both lines so No solution.
Case3: lines are overlapping.
In that case all the points lies on both lines so infinitely many solutions.
Because the square has similar lengths, the equation would be
(7x-2)(7x-2)
We can use FOIL to solve this:
The area is 49x^2 - 28x + 4 in^2.
