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

HELP I NEED THIS DONE QUICKK CAN ANNYONE HELP???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
natulia [17]
For the first question, it would be D: \frac{1}{3} ÷ 9. This is because to solve a division problem with fractions, you would need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. For the second question, the answer would be D: 32. This can be solved by dividing 8 by \frac{1}{4} or 0.25. For the third question, it would be D. \frac{1}{12}. This can be solved by dividing \frac{1}{4} by 3. For the fourth question, the answer would be \frac{1}{12}. This can be found by flipping the 4, which would make it look like \frac{1}{4}, and multiplying it by \frac{1}{3}. For the last question, 1 would be B, 2 would be C, 3 would be C, and 4 would be A.

Hope this helps ^-^
