A retractable flag pole starts out 24 inches tall, and grows taller at a rate of 0.6in/sec. An elastic is anchored 200 inches from the base and attached to the top of the pole, forming a right triangle. Using a top-down or bottom-up strategy, define functions that compute the height of the pole and the area of the triangle after a given number of seconds.
Directions: Define your first function (height
or area
) here.
