A flagpole is 20 feet tall. At 4 p.m. it casts a shadow that is 15 feet long. How far is it from the top of the flagpole to the
end of the shadow?
1 answer:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
25 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The hypotenuse of the right triangle with legs 15 feet and 20 feet can be found using the Pythagorean theorem:
h^2 = 20^2 +15^2
h^2 = 400 +225 = 625
h = √625 = 25
The distance from the shadow tip to the flag pole tip is 25 feet.
