Step-by-step explanation:

Peter wants to make tarts and to make tarts, he needs 2/5 of a cup of flour per batch of tarts.

Peter has 8 cups of flour.

The number of batches of flour that he can make is given as the number of cups of flour divided by the number of cups per batch.

That is:

N = 8 ÷ 2/5

N = (8 * 5) / 2 = 40 / 2 = 20 batches

Peter can make 20 batches.

step-by-step explanation:

here x represents the height of the pole,

and, the height of the shadow of the pole is 12 feet.

also, the angle of elevation from the top of the pole is 40°,

therefore,

by the low of sine,

which is the required equation for finding the value of x,
