The first thing we are going to do is draw a diagram of the situation to help us to solve the situation.
We an draw tow similar triangle between the length of the shadows and the height of the stick and the pole.
Since <span>meter stick has a length of 1 meter, the height of our smaller triangle is 1 meter. Let </span>
be height of of the pole. Since both triangles are similiar we can establish a proportion between their corresponding sides and solve for
:
We can conclude that the pole is
4.04 meters tall.

Answer:(x^2+y^2)^2=(x^2+y^2)(x^2+y^2)
Step-by-step explanation:
We can rewrite left side into right side form
(x^2+y^2)^2=(x^2+y^2)(x^2+y^2)
we can expand it
(x^2+y^2)^2=x^4+x^2y^2+x^2y^2+y^4
(x^2+y^2)^2=x^4+y^4+2x^2y^2
we can add and subtract 2x^2y^2
(x^2+y^2)^2=x^4+y^4+2x^2y^2+2x^2y^2-2x^2y^2
(x^2+y^2)^2=x^4-2x^2y^2+y^4+2x^2y^2+2x^2y^2
(x^2+y^2)^2=x^4-2x^2y^2+y^4+4x^2y^2
(x^2+y^2)^2=x^4-2x^2y^2+y^4+(2xy)^2
(x^2+y^2)^2=(x^2-y^2)^2+(2xy)^2
Answer:
624.5 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculation to determine how many feet from the boat is the parasailor
Based on the information given we would make use of Pythagorean theorem to determine how many feet from the boat is the parasailor using this formula
a²+b²=c²
First step is to plug in the formula by substituting the given value
500²+b²=800²
Second step is to evaluate the exponent
250,000+b²=640,000
Third step is to substract 250,000 from both side and simplify
250,000+b²-250,000=640,000-250,000
b²=390,000
Now let determine how many feet from the boat is the parasailor
Parasailor feet=√b²
Parasailor feet=√390,000
Parasailor feet=b=624.49
Parasailor feet=b=624.5 feet (Approximately)
Therefore how many feet from the boat is the parasailor will be 624.5 feet
