8(c-12)=40 that gonna be equal to 8c-96=-40 or 8c=-40+96 ,8c =56 divide both sides by 8 that equal to 7.....
The answer would be 48 √6
By what I can tell, that is telling you what the measurement of rain was per month. For example, August had 10. That means that in the month of August there was 10 inches of rain.
I would solve this using tangents. Let h be height of flagpole.
Set up 2 right triangles, each with a base of 40.
The larger triangle has height of "h+70"
Smaller triangle has height of 70.
Now write the tangent ratios:

Note: A-B = 9
To solve for h we need to use the "Difference Angle" formula for Tangent

Plug in what we know:
