Answer:
The flagpole is 10' tall
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
[tex]1\ ft=12\ in[/tex]
Convert feet to inches
[tex]5'4''=5(12)+4=64''[/tex]
using proportion
Let
x ----> the height of the flagpole
[tex]\frac{64}{40}=\frac{x}{75}\\\\x=64(75)/40\\\\x=120''[/tex]
Convert to feet
Divide by 12
[tex]120''=120/12=10'[/tex]
therefore
The flagpole is 10' tall
