Answer:

64 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The shadow of the post is 12 feet long. The shadow of the flagpole is 96 feet long.

The shadow of the flagpole is 8 times longer than the shadow of the post.

8 x 8 = 64

Answer:

64

Step-by-step explanation:

Use a proportion.

Use ratios of height to shadow length.

Let the height of the flagpole = x.

8 ft is to 12 ft as x is to 96 ft

8/12 = x/96

2/3 = x/96

3x = 2 × 96

x = 2 × 32

x = 64

Answer: 64

What is the answer to this algebra 1 answer : 6&gt; 4-2×&lt;4
Artist 52 [7]
6>4-2x<4

so therefor (4x-2) must be less than 6 and less than 4
it must be
6>4-2x and 4<4-2x
find the intersection

6>4-2x
add 2x to both sides
6+2x>4
subtract 6
2x>-2
divide by 2
x>-1



4>4-2x
add 2x
4+2x>4
subtract 4
2x>0
x>0




so we have
x>0
and x>-1
the range of x>-1 includes most of x>0 so the answer is
x>-1
