A six-foot-tall person is standing next to a flagpole. The person is casting a shadow 1 1/2 feet in length, while the flagpole i
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer: 20 ft

This problem can be solved by the Thales’s theorem, which states:

<em>Two triangles are similar when they have equal angles and proportional sides  </em>

It should be noted that to apply Thales' Theorem, it is necessary to establish <u>the two triangles are similar</u>, that is, that t<u>hey have the corresponding angles equal or that their sides are proportional to each other.  </u>

<u />

Now, if we measure the shadow of the flagpole and the shadow of the person, <u>at the same moment</u>, we can use the first Thales' Theorem to calculate the height of the flagpole, knowing the height of the person.

In this case we have two similar triangles (Figure attached) where H is the height of the flagpole, h=6 ft is the height of the person, A=5 ft is the length of the shadow of the flagpole and a=1\frac{1}{2}=1.5 ft is the length of the shadow of the person.

Having this clear, we can write the following relation with both similar triangles:

\frac{H}{h}=\frac{A}{a}   (1)

We know all these lengths except H, which is the value we want to to find.  

So, in order to approach this problem we have to find H from equation (1):  

H=\frac{A}{a}h  

H=\frac{5 ft}{1.5 ft}(6 ft)  

Then:

H=20 ft >>>>>This is the height of the flagpole

Which of these tables represents a non-linear function?
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

we conclude that the table ''A 2-column table with 4 rows. Column 1 is labeled x with entries 17, 18, 19, 20. Column 2 is labeled y with entries 16, 17, 19, 20'' represents a non-linear function.

Step-by-step explanation:

The nature of whether a function can be linear or non-linear, we must check how the x and y values of the table change. If the first difference between y-values remains the same (constant first difference), then the table will represent a linear function, otherwise not.

Given the x and y entries of the first table:

x            y

17           20

18           19

19           18

20          17

From the table, it is clear that as x constantly increases by 1 unit, the y-values are also changing constantly by 1 unit. The first difference between y-values remains the same.

i.e. 19-20=-1, 18-19=-1, 17-18=-1

Thus, this table represents a linear function.

Given the x and y entries of the second table:

x            y

17          -16

18          -17

19           -18

20          -19

From the table, it is clear that as x constantly increases by 1 unit, the y-values are also changing constantly by 1 unit. The first difference between y-values remains the same.

i.e. -17-(-16)=-1, -18-(-17)=-1, -19-(-18)=-1

Thus, this table represents a linear function.

Given the x and y entries of the second table:

x            y

17          16

18          17

19           19

20          20

From the table, it is clear that as x constantly increases by 1 unit, but the y-values are not changing constantly. The first difference between y-values does not remain the same.

i.e. 17- 16 = 1, 19 - 17 = 2, 20 - 19 = 1

Thus, this table does not represent a linear function. Hence, it is a non-linear function.

Given the x and y entries of the second table:

x            y

17          -20

18          -19

19           -18

20          -17

From the table, it is clear that as x constantly increases by 1 unit, the y-values are also changing constantly by 1 unit. The first difference between y-values remains the same.

i.e. -19-(-20)=1, -18-(-19)=1, -17-(-18)=1

Thus, this table represents a linear function.

Therefore, we conclude that the table ''A 2-column table with 4 rows. Column 1 is labeled x with entries 17, 18, 19, 20. Column 2 is labeled y with entries 16, 17, 19, 20'' represents a non-linear function.
