Answer:
x = 5.61
Step-by-step explanation:
Applying the knowledge of similarity between two figures, thus:
Height of flag : height of Tommy = shadow length of flag : shadow o
Length of Tommy
30:5.5 = (25 + x) : x
30/5.5 = (25 + x)/x
30×x = 5.5(25 + x)
30x = 137.5 + 5.5x
30x - 5.5x = 137.5
24.5x = 137.5
x = 137.5/24.5
x = 5.61 (nearest hundredth)
