Use the diagram below to determine the height of the flagpole. Height of flagpole =

Scale factor from stick to flagpole =

Scale factor from flagpole to stick =

Height of flagpole= 12ft

Scale factor from stick to flagpole: 3:1

Scale Factor from flagpole to stick: 1:3

Step-by-step explanation:

ratio from stick to shadow = ratio from flagpole to shadow

so 4:2.5

we can assume 4(3):2.5(3)

which is 12:7.5

exa:

)

3+11

14

step-by-step explanation:

from this example, we can see that subtracting with integers is the same as adding the opposite. we can solve using a number line or by using the saying "keep, change, change" to us solve. it is important to remember that we can subtract a negative and end up with a larger number than we started with.
