The ratio of the height (h) of the streetlight to its distance to the end of Laura's shadow is the same as the ratio of Laura's height to her distance from the end of her shadow.
.. h/(12+9) = 5'4"/9
.. h = (21/9)*5'4" = 12 4/9 feet
.. h = 12 ft 5 1/3 inches

The streetlight is 12 ft 5 1/3 inches tall.

Solve for x in this circle.
Katen [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

7*(7 + x+1) = 6*(x + 5 + 6)       {Intersecting secant theorem}

7 *(x + 8) = 6*(x + 11)

Distributive property,

7x + 56   = 6x + 66

Subtract 56 from both sides

7x = 6x + 66 - 56

7x = 6x + 10

Subtract 6x from both sides

7x - 6x = 10

x = 10

Reasoning point F lies on EG and point M lies on EN. If F,E, and M are collinear, what must be true of these rays.
almond37 [142]
This means that all of the points are co-linear. This is because if EG is a segment that contains F, and EN is a segment that contains M, then there can be two different segments. However, for a point F on the first segment and a point M on a second segment be in the same line as an end point of one of the segments, the segments have to be co-linear. They overlap.
