Question

A flagpole that is 30 feet tall casts a shadow that extends 42 feet from the base of the flagpole. What is the distance from the top of the flagpole to the end of the shadow?

Answer 1

it’s the hypotenuse, so you would do a^2 + b^2 = c^2, let a equal 30 feet and let b equal 42 feet. hope this helps
