As shown in the diagram below, Javier is standing outside next to a flagpole. Javier is 5'4" tall and his shadow is 40" long. The flagpole's shadow is 75" long. How tall is the flagpole?

answer:   28.56 feet (approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, triangle abc has measure of angle c equal to 55 degrees, measure of angle abc equal to 90 degrees, and length of bc equal to 20 feet.

we have to find out the measurement of segment ab.

therefore, tan 55° =

but bc = 20 feet.

⇒ tan 55 ° =  

⇒ ab = 20 × tan 55 °

⇒ ab = 20 × 1.42814800674

⇒ ab = 28.5629601348   ≈ 28.56 feet

if y=4x then you will substitute 4x in for y in the second equation.

8x + 4x = 18 combine like terms

12x = 18 divide by 12 on both sides

x = 18/12 or 3/2

now replace x in the first equation with 3/2 to get

y = 4 3/2

y = 6

the answer is a

(3/2,6)

hope that .

brainliest is always apprectiated

okey so the slope is -3/5 and the y -intercept is 7/5

hope this if needed hmu

what are the answer chices
