I have a flagpole 30 feet tall amirror 10 feet from pole and someone standing 2 feet from mirror how tall are they
there isn't enough information here to figure it out
To determine the height of the person, we can use the principle of similar triangles. Let's call the height of the person "x". In this scenario, we have two similar triangles: one formed by the flagpole, the mirror, and the distance between the mirror and the person, and the other formed by the person, the mirror, and the distance between the mirror and the person.
The ratio of the corresponding sides of similar triangles is equal. Therefore, we can set up the following equation:
(Height of Flagpole) / (Distance between Flagpole and Mirror) = (Height of Person) / (Distance between Person and Mirror)
30 feet / 10 feet = x / 2 feet
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
10x = 60
Dividing both sides by 10:
x = 6
Therefore, the person's height is 6 feet.
