A20 foot flag pole is casting a shadow that is 12 feet long. how far is the top of the flag pole from the end of the shadow?

Estimate 23.3

Step-by-step explanation:

So here we are going to use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the other side.

The formula for it is;

So c squared is always the Hypotenuse which is made up a and b squared added together. The Hypotenuse is the longest side and the is the side that we are looking for.

So,

400 + 144 = c^{2}[/tex]

544 = c^{2}[/tex]

c = Estimate 23.3

the answer is b.)

< 1=< 2

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
