Candace wants to find the height of a local lighthouse. Since she knows something about similar triangles, she decides to stand

in a location where the tip of her shadow and the tip of the lighthouse’s shadow meet (point C). She knows that she is 1.5 meters tall. Before moving into the shade of the lighthouse, she measured her shadow and found that it was 2.5 meters. The last measurement she took was the length of the lighthouse’s shadow. She found that it was 36 meters. What is the height of the lighthouse?

In short, let x be the height of the Light House
2.5/36 = 1.5/X

===> X= (36 x 1.5)/2.5 = 21.6 meters

What is the product? (9t − 4)(−9t − 4) −81t2 − 16 −81t2 16 −81t2 − 72t 16 −81t2 72t 16
Alexxandr [17]
<span>We have to find the product : ( 9 t - 4 ) ( - 9 t - 4 ) = - ( 9 t - 4 ) ( 9 t + 4 ) After that we can use the difference of squares. The formula is: ( a + b ) ( a - b ) = a^2 - b^2. In this case: - ( 9 t - 4 ) ( 9 t + 4 ) = - ( 81 t^2 - 16 ) = - 81 t^2 + 16 . Answer: B ) - 81 t^2 + 16.</span>

Let assigned the value of x to the unknown lenght.

Therefore, the Length = xft

The with is 1/3 of the length and this. = 15ft.

Now , to get the length, we equate both together and then solve for x .

1/3 of x = 15

x/3 = 15

To get x, we multiply both side by 3

x = 45ft

The of the pool = 45ft.
