We essentially have a ratio here:
\frac{shadow}{actual}

Since we know the ratio is going to stay constant at \frac{5}{6}, we can use this to find the height of the lamp along with the information that the total distance from the lamp to the tip of his shadow is 20:
\frac{5}{6}=\frac{20}{h}
5h=120
h=24

U need question problem 2 to solve problem 3
Sergio [31]

Answer:

You are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with 1 1/2. This can be made into an improper fraction which is 3/2

Now multiply both top and bottom of 3/2 by 5

(3*5)/(2 * 5) = 15 / 10

16/10 is just slightly bigger than 15/10

Graph the image of rhombus EFGH after a reflection across the line x = 3
igomit [66]

Answer:  see image

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Draw line x = 3.  Count how many units each point is away from line x = 3. Plot the new point the same number of units away from line x = 3 but in the opposite direction.

Point G is 4 units to the left of x = 3. The new point G' is 4 units to the right of x = 3.

Point F is 7 units to the left of x = 3. The new point G' is 7 units to the right of x = 3.

Point E is 7 units to the left of x = 3. The new point G' is 7 units to the right of x = 3.

Point H is 4 units to the left of x = 3. The new point G' is 4 units to the right of x = 3.

The average marks of the first 10 students are 17 and that of the next 15 students is 18. find the mean of 25 students?
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

The mean of 25 students is 17.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the mean (average) is mean (average) = \frac{S}{N} , where S is the sum of the data, and N is the number of the data

∵ The average marks of the first 10 students are 17

- That means the mean is 17 and the number of students is 10

∴ Average = 17

∴ N = 10

∵ Average = \frac{S}{N}

- Substitute average by 17 and N by 10

∴ 17 = \frac{S}{10}

- Multiply both sides by 10

∴ 170 = S

∴ The sum of the marks of the first 10 students is 170

∵ The average of the next 15 students is 18

∴ Average = 18

∴ N = 15

- Substitute average by 18 and N by 15

∴ 18 = \frac{S}{15}

- Multiply both sides by 15

∴ 270 = S

∴ The sum of the marks of the next 15 students is 270

Now to find the mean of 25 students and the two sums and divide the answer by 25

∵ S = 170 + 270

∴ S = 440

∵ N = 25

∴ Mean = \frac{440}{25}

∴ Mean = 17.6

The mean of 25 students is 17.6
