A student wants to know how far above the ground the top of a leaning flagpole is. At high noon, when the sun is almost directly overhead, the shadow cast by the pole is 10 ft long. The student holds a plumb bob with a string 2 ft long up to the flagpole and determines that the point of the plumb bob touches the ground 15 in. from the base of the flagpole. How far above the ground is the top of the pole?

step-by-step explanation:

3x + 18 = 147°

step-by-step explanation:

3x + 18 = 147°, because the value of the central angle is equal to the value of the arc formed by it.

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
