A wire is stretched from the ground to the top of a pole. The wire is 34 ft long. The height of
the pole is 14 ft greater than the distance d from
the pole's base to the bottom of the wire. Find
the distance d and the height of the pole.

the answer is d. (1.2, -4.7) on edgn

hope this !

the answer to your question is b.

proportions are fractions that equal to each other. so if two fractions are the same, they are proportional.

let's check the answers to see if they are proportional.

question a is not proportional because you can't turn 1.5/3 to 3/9. if you try to multiply 1.5/3 by 2 or 3, you wont get 3/9. it's impossible to make the fractions the same.

question b is not proportional because you can't turn 22/33 to 4/6. 33 can't go into 6.

question c is proportional because when you multiply 2 and 3 by 71, you would get 142/213, and those fractions equal to each other

question d is proportional because when you divide 14 and 7 by 2, you would end up with 7/3.5, and those fractions equal to each other.
