A tower 15m high casts a shadow 30m long. A nearby telephone pole casts a shadow 16m long. Find the height of the telephone pole. Plz show ur work, thx sla

8 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we know the shadow (30 ft) of a tower (15 ft), we can use use the ratio

where 'x' is the height of the telephone pole. Cross multiply, and we get the equation . The rest of the problem is pretty straightforward, we divide both sides by 30 to find x. In the end, you will find that the height of the telephone pole is 8 feet.

Hope this helped!

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

it would be a on edgenuit y

the diagram below is your final answer
