Set it up as a ratio:
mans shadow over mans height (4/6 ) equals flag pole shadow over flag pole height (15/x)
set them to equal each other:
4/6 = 15/x
cross multiply: 4*x =4x, 15*6 = 90
so you have 4x = 90
now divide both sides by 5 to solve for x, which is the height of the flag pole:
x = 90 / 4 = 22.5 feet tall
Answer:
See method below.
Step-by-step explanation:
m/n + n/3 = 2
2/m + n = 4
First eliminate the fractions by multiplying the first equation by 3n:-
3m + n^2 = 6n...........(1)
and the second equation by m:-
2 + mn = 4m..............(2)
Now we solve using substitution:-
From equation (2):-
4m - mn = 2
m = 2 / (4 - n)
Now substitute for m in equation (1):-
6/ (4 - n) + n^2 = 6n
6 + n^2(4 - n) = 6n(4 - n)
6 + 4n^2 - n^3 = 24n - 6n^2
n^3 - 10n^2 + 24n - 6 = 0
This will not factor so we could solve this using graphical software.
To find the values of the variable m we substitute the found values of n into one of the original equations and solve for m.
