Asap! will give brainlist. your friend george is 6 feet tall and his shadow is 10 feet long. at the same time, the shadow of the flagpole was 85 feet long. what is the height of a flagpole? a. 141.6 feet. b. 51 feet. c. 1.4 feet. d. 60 feet.

51 feet

Since we know George's height, the length of George's shadow, and the length of the flagpole's shadow we have all the information we need

Now we can set up a relationship between George and the flagpole:

6 represents George's height

10 represents the length of George's shadow

x is the unknown height of the flagpole

85 is the length of the flagpole's shadow

Now you solve for x:

So, the height of the flagpole is 51 feet

a) y = -3x +2

b) y = 1/2x -6

these 2 can be combined into one equation.

-3x +2 = .5x -6

8 = 3.5x

x = 8 / 3.5 = 2.2857142857

y = -3 * (8 / 3.5) +2

y = (-24 / 3.5) + 2

y = -4.8571428571
