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

NEED HELP FAST‼️‼️

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A ' = (-2, -3)

B ' = (0, -3)

C ' = (-1, 1)

=======================================================

Explanation:

To apply an x axis reflection, we simply change the sign of the y coordinate from positive to negative, or vice versa. The x coordinate stays as is.

Algebraically, the reflection rule used can be written as

Applying this rule to the three given points will mean....

Point A = (-2, 3) becomes A ' = (-2, -3)

Point B = (0, 3) becomes B ' = (0, -3)

Point C = (-1, -1) becomes C ' = (-1, 1)

The diagram is provided below.

Side note: Any points on the x axis will stay where they are. That isn't the case here, but its for any future problem where it may come up. This only applies to x axis reflections.

What are scale drawings? can you give an example?
Alecsey [184]
Scale Drawings are drawings that are used to show the true size of something.
Scale drawings are most commonly used in maps, or in large scale drawings. These show the scale of something. It may show that 1cm is equivalent to 1km, which would allow someone to measure the map to see how far the distance it. It also allows a map to be made smaller, and less detailed- making it often easier to read.
Hope this helps :)
