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 real world situation models this equation y=1/20x
garri49 [273]
This is a proportional relationship. So any example that shows as x increases, y decreases.
A real life example would be where 
x=time i let the pool drain
y=amount of water left over

As I let the time I let the pool drain increase, the amount of water left in the pool decreases.
