Can I find the scale factor for a point with 2 different scale factors? (one for the x-axis and one for the y-axis)

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale factor is the ratio of the length of one side of a point/figure to a similar side in another point or figure.

The scale factor can either be less than one(1) or greater than one(1) depending on the figure/ point you begin from when finding the scale factor.

Hence you can find the scale factor for a point with 2 different scale factors

answer:  

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,
