Step-by-step explanation:

Here are some hints: "At the same time,"means you need to set up a proportion (two ratios equal each other).

The shadow is always on the ground.

A person and a flagpole always stands up straight, like a wall (vertical height)

Underline key words and numbers. Draw a picture for sure.

|X 5.5 ft. |

|____________ |____

flagpole=50 feet person's shadow=4 feet

shadow

Since it is easier to work with one type of measurement, change the person's height to feet only. The person is 5feet, 6inches Note: 12 inches= 1 foot, so 6 inches= 1/2 a feet and 6 inches= .5 feet

An angle whose measure is _____ is rotated more than halfway around a circle

zaharov [31]

The correct answer is 60⁰.

Step-by-step explanation:

An angle whose measure is 60⁰ is rotated more than halfway around a circle.
Since, we have to find the measure of angle.
As we already know that the angle of rotation about a circle is 360° therefore we have to find more than halfway of this angle.

Considering that an angle is rotated more than halfway around a circle be $\frac{1}{6}$

Multiplying $\frac{1}{6}$ with 360⁰
Therefore, it can show as $\frac{1}{6}$ ×360⁰
Which gives the result to be 60⁰
Hence, when an angle is measured 60⁰, it is rotating more than halfway around a circle.
A single rotation around a circle is equal to 360 degrees.
The measurement of an angle shows the magnitude and direction of the rotation of the angle from its initial position to the final position.
If the rotation is in a counterclockwise direction, it has an angle with positive measure. If the rotation is clockwise, it has an angle which gives negative measure.
