Problema Solution
The total height of the building and the flagpole on the roof is 176 feet. the building is seven times as high as the flagpole. how high is the flagpole
Answer provided by our tutors
We can say:
176ft=(height of the building)+(height of the flagpole)
(height of the building)=7(height of the flagpole)
Let x=height of the flagpole. Then we have:
176=7x+x
Solving for x, we get:
x=22 ft
Therefore, the height of the flagpole is 22 ft.
