Answer:

60 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solved by setting up a proportion.

height of the pole/length of the pole's shadow = height of the mailbox/length of the mailbox's shadow

height of the pole = x

plugging in values

x/70 = 3/3.5   To solve, cross multiply

(3.5)(x) = (70)(3)  Simplify

3.5x = 210  Divide both sides by 3.5

3.5x/3.5 = 210/3.5

x = 60 ft is the height of the pole

15 POINTS PLEASE HELP!!! WILL MARK BRAINLIEST
dangina [55]

Given: ∠ DEF

To construct: ∠TSZ ≅ ∠DEF

Construction: Consider the attachment

Step-01: Draw a line XY and choose a point S on it as a vertex of the required angle. Further marks point T such that DE = ST

Step-02: Take an arc AB from point E in ∠DEF of any length and draw at point S which cuts at point P on XY line.

Step-03: Take another arc of length AB from point B in ∠DEF and draw from point P which cuts to the previous arc at Q.

Step-04: Now, join the point SQ and extend up to Z such that EF = SZ

Hence, ∠ TSZ will be the required congruent constructed angle to∠DEF
