By applying <em>reflection</em> theory and constructing a <em>geometric</em> system of two <em>proportional right</em> triangles, the height of the stainless steel globe is approximately 140 ft.

<h3>How to estimate the height of the stainless steel globe</h3>

By physics we know that both the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection are same. Thus, we have a <em>geometric</em> system formed by two <em>proportional right</em> triangles:

5.6 ft / 4 ft = h / 100 ft

h = (5.6 ft × 100 ft) / 4ft

h = 140 ft

By applying <em>reflection</em> theory and constructing a <em>geometric</em> system of two <em>proportional right</em> triangles, the height of the stainless steel globe is approximately 140 ft.

What is the distance between (-3,5) (7,5)
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

use distance formula:  d = square root of the difference of the y-values minus the difference of the x-values

d = \sqrt{(5-5)^2+(7--3)^2}

d = \sqrt{(0)^2+(10)^2}

d = \sqrt{100}

d = 10 units
