I NEED HELP ASAP You want to know how tall your school flagpole is. On a sunny day, you measure the flagpole’s shadow and find that it is24 feet long. You also notice that when you stand 18 feet from the flagpole, the head of your shadow matches up exactly with the tip of the flagpole’s shadow. You are 5 feet tall.

a) 7x=7

step-by-step explanation:

55.44 inches

step-by-step explanation:

part a. assuming a perfectly linear relationship, we can find the slope from the first two data points.

slope = m = (change in rainfall)/(change in years)

= (61.80 -62.33)/(2005 -2004) = -0.53/1 = -0.53

then the point-slope form of the equation of the line can be written as

y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . m = -0.53, (h, k) = (0, 62.33)

y = -0.53x +62.33 . . . x = years after 2004

part b. in 2017, x = 2017 -2004 = 13. then the predicted rainfall is

y = -0.53·13 +62.33 = 55.44 . . inches

the predicted rainfall in 2017 is 55.44 in.
