Question is in image below A lamppost is 6 feet high and casts and 8 foot shadow. At the same time of day, a flagpole near the lamppost cast a 20 foot shadow. Using the properties of similar triangles, find the height, H, of the flagpole

15 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

I will assume that either both objects are standing straight. We can use similar triangles.

We can see that the side 8 is similar to the side 20, since they are both shadows. Therefore, we can set up an equation:

we can cross multiply and get:

8x=120

solve for x:

x=15

Therefore, the lamppost must be 15 feet tall (unless it fell down but we won't talk about that)

the red lines denote the population of the bacteria after 35 hours. that would be 2,409.24. the y-intercept is the blue line which is 800 because that is the starting point. the equation used to make the graph is 800(1.032)^h, where h is the number of hours.
