Answer:

1249. 5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Pole length , Pl = 2 fts

Pole shadow, Ps = 20 in = (0.0833 * 20) = 1.666 ft

Tower length, Tl = 125 ft

Tower shadow, Ts = x

Pl / Ps = Tl/ Ts

2/ 1.666 = 125 / x

Cross multiply

2x = 125 * 1.666

2x = 208.25

x = 104.125 ft

x = 104.125 * 12 = 1249. 5 inches

What is the steepest line possible? What is the slope?
Paraphin [41]
The steepest line possible is a vertical line. Its slope is bigger than any
possible number you can think of, because it can change its height by
any amount in zero time.  Its slope is 'undefined', meaning that there's
no number that can describe it.  Some people would say it's 'infinity',
but that's not a number.
