Answer:
The flagpole is 15 feet tall.
Step-by-step explanation:
The man casts a shadow that is 2/3 the length of his height. Because we know that the man and the flagpole are standing at the same time of the day, we can conclude that the shadow of the flagpole is 2/3 the length of the flagpole as well. Then, you would multiple 10(3/2) to get 15 as the height of the flagpole.
F(x)=x(x+1)
multiply each term in the parethesis by x.
x times x plus x; x times x equal x square.
so it would be:
x2 + x
1 T = 2000 lb
0.5 T = 1000 lb
1.25 T = 2500 lb
Jake's trailer can have a load of 5000 -2500 = 2500 lb. Since each horse is 1000 lb, Jake can only load 2 of them into the trailer and stay under his load limit.
