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.

You roll a fair 6-sided die what is p (not 3)
Ulleksa [173]
As a fraction, the exact answer is 5/6
In decimal form, the approximate answer is 0.8333

To get this answer, note how there are 5 ways to roll something that isn't a three (1,2,4,5,6) out of 6 ways total (1,2,3,4,5,6)

So you simply divide the two values to get 5/6 = 0.8333
