6. Peter is standing next to a flagpole and wants to know how tall it is. Peter knows that he is 5'6" tall,
and that his shadow is 3'3" long. If the flagpole's
shadow is 9'9" long, how tall is the flagpole?

7'6

Step-by-step explanation:

so peter is 5'6, and his shadow is 3'3, which means that its subtracted by 2'3, therfore the flagpole is 7'6, hope this helps :)

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
