Answer:

372 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

(1 yd = 36 in., and 1 ft = 12 in.)

1 yard stick = 24 in

This means , height of 36 inches casts a shadow of 24 Inches

At the same time a telephone pole casts a shadow of 20 ft 8 in

1 ft = 12 in

Hence,

Convey 20ft to inches

1 ft = 12 in

20 ft = 20 × 12 inches

= 240 inches

Total shadow of the telephone pole = 240in + 8 in = 248 = 248 inches

Hence,

Height/Length of shadow = Height/Length of shadow

36/24= x /248

Cross Multiply

24 × x = 36× 248

x = 36 × 248/24

x = 372 inches

The height of the telephone pole, to the nearest inch is 372 inches

How to find the maximum height projectile motion?
ziro4ka [17]
Y=v(initial)*t+1/2at^2
since the velocity is zero at the maximum height then we get
y=1/2at^2
a is just acceleration due to gravity so a=g which is 9.8 m/s^2.
so y=1/2gt^2.

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

A circle is a figure where all of the points on its graph are equidistant from a single, central point. You can define a circle in a plane with the formula (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2, where h represents the x coordinate of the center, k represents the y coordinate, and r represents the radius. Hope this helps, and feel free to ask for more clarification!
