Answer:

2.5477 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer the image attached to understand my solution.

BC = height of lamppost.

DE = Julia

AD = shadow of Julia

BD = 2 feet.      AD = 5 feet

BA = BD + AD

       = 2 + 5 = 7 feet

In ΔABC

tan 20° = \frac{BC}{BA}  = \frac{BC}{7}

BC = 7 * tan 20°

BC = 2.5477 feet

SO the height of lamppost = 2.5477 feet

Masja [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6) 15 + 2x = 75                 Check: 15 + 2x = 75

2x = 75 - 15                               15 + 2*30 = 75

2x = 60                                      15 + 60 = 75    

x = 60/2                                        75 = 75

x = 30

7) m/3 - 14 = 10

m/3= 10 + 14

m/3 = 24

m = 24 *3

m = 72
