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

Find the measure of the angle indicated
Bond [772]

Answer:

76°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two interior angles in a triangle is equal to an exterior angle that's supplementary to the third interior angle

52° + 12x + 4 = 22x - 4

52 = 22x - 4 - 12x - 4

52 = 10x - 8 add 8 to both sides

60 = 10x divide both sides by 10

6 = x

The measure of angle F is 12x + 4, replace x with the value we found

m<F 12 × 6 + 4 = 76°

the algebraic expression 6(2x)+9x+3 represents the area of a rectangle .what is the the area of the rectangle when x =3 feet
sashaice [31]

Answer:

66. Assuming after you substituted 3 in place of x, you followed order of operations, or PEMDAS.

Step-by-step explanation:

6(2x) + 9x +3 = area

6 (2(3)) + 9(3) + 3 = area

6 x 6 + 27 + 3 = area

36 + 30 = 66

area = 66
