Use similar triangles
distance of man from puddle = 0.5 m.
distance of puddle from tower = 13 - 0.5 = 12.5 meters
so we have 2 similar triangles
one has height 2 m and base 0.5 m and the other has height x m ( the tower) and base 12.5 m
Corresponding sides are in the same ratio, so
2 / x = 0.5 / 12.5
0.5x = 2*12.5 = 25
x = 25 / 0.5 = 50 m
The tower is approx 50 m high.
Multiply them back into each other... You would multiply your answer with the number you divided by (the number ouside the table if you used the table... ) and you should get the larger number you divided.

Answer: Law of Detachment
Step-by-step explanation:
1) If you swim (p), you must use earplugs (q)
2) Roy swims (p)
3) Roy must use earbuds (q)
5x-8y=1...(1)
3x+6y=-21...(2)
(1)*3:
15x-24y=3...(3)
(2)*5:
15x+30y=-105...(2)
(3)-(2):
15x-24y-(15x+30y)=3-(-105)
15x-24y-15x-30y=108
-54y=108
y=-2
