Answer:
x=12
Step-by-step explanation:
LM + MN = LN
2x-16 + x-9 = 11
Combine like terms
3x-25=11
Add 25 to each side
3x-25+25 = 11+25
3x = 36
Divide by 3
3x/3=36/3
x = 12
Height of the woman = 5 ft
Rate at which the woman is walking = 7.5 ft/sec
Let us assume the length of the shadow = s
Le us assume the <span>distance of the woman's feet from the base of the streetlight = x
</span>Then
s/5 = (s + x)/12
12s = 5s + 5x
7s = 5x
s = (5/7)x
Now let us differentiate with respect to t
ds/dt = (5/7)(dx/dt)
We already know that dx/dt = 7/2 ft/sec
Then
ds/dt = (5/7) * (7/2)
= (5/2)
= 2.5 ft/sec
From the above deduction, it can be easily concluded that the rate at which the tip of her shadow is moving is 2.5 ft/sec.
