Holding a ruler upright at arm's distance (24 in.), Ronnie aligned the bottom of the
ruler with a mark on the utility pole that
was about 5 feet above the ground. He
saw that the top of the pole aligned with
the 6-inch mark on the ruler. Then he
took 40 long strides to reach the pole.
If each stride was about one yard (3 feet),
then the top of the pole is about how
many feet high?

step-by-step explanation:

the length of o'p' is .

step-by-step explanation:

it is given that the quadrilateral m'n'o'p' is the image of quadrilateral mnop after dilation.

the center of dilation is origin and the scale factor is 1.5.

in dilation the image and preimge are similar figures. it means the sides of image and preimage are proportional.

the scale factor is defined as

the scale factor is 1.5.

multiply both sides by op.

note: if the value of op is given, then multiply the value of op with 1.5 to get the length of side o'p'.

therefore length of o'p' is .
