Can anyone answer this I am very stumped.
The flagpole on the roof of a Chocolate Factory is 13 cm in diameter and
a perfect cylinder. If one end of a 2300-cm-long string is attached to the top
of the flagpole, and wraps around the flagpole exactly 16 times before ending
at the bottom of the flagpole, how tall is the flagpole? Need answer by Wednesday

One boy holds a yardstick vertically at a point 40 feet from the base of the flagpole. The other boy backs away from the pole to a point where he sights the top of the pole over the top of the yardstick. If his position is 1 ft 9 in from the yardstick and his eye level is 2 ft above the ground, find the height of the flagpole.

The area of a flag |
2006-02-24 |
|
From Kim:
I have a flag that's very similar to the canadian flag. Two smaller red areas and i larger white area. If I am given the length is 3 and the height is 1.4 how do I determine what the area of the two red areas is?
Here's the answer but I can't figure out why they are multiplying 1.4 x 1.4?
(3x1.4-1.4x1.4)divided by 2= 2.24 divided by 2 = 1.12
