Apole that is 2.8 m tall casts a shadow that is 1.21 m long. at the same time, a nearby tower casts a shadow that is 48.75 m long. how tall is the tower? round

112.81 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pole and the tower and their shadows form 2 similar triangles so their corresponding sides are in the smae ratio.

Therefore we have the relation:

1.21 / 48.75 = 2.8 / x   where x is the height of the tower.

Cross multiplying:

x = 2.8 * 48.75 / 1.21

= 112.81 m

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
