Ameter stick casts a shadow 1.4 m long at the same time a flagpole casts a shadow 7.7 m long. the triangle formed by the meterstick and its shadow is similar to the triangle formed by the flagpole and its shadow. how tall is the flaglole?

5.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the length of flagpole.

Length of stick=1 m

Length of shadow of stick=1.4 m

Length of shadow of flagpole=7.7 m

According to question

When triangles are similar then their ratio of corresponding sides are equal.

Hence, the length of flagpole=5.5 m

  y= -3x is the required function.

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given a table:

x             y

0             0

1             -3

3             -9

-2             6

we can see that the values of y is -3 times the value of x

hence, the function would be: y= -3x.

put the values of x will give the same y as in the table that means function is satisfying the given table.
