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

Sliva [168]

Answer: 5 feet

Step-by-step explanation: A rectangle is a quadrilateral with 4 sides. The opposite sides are parallel and have the same length.

Top and bottom of the window are opposite, so they have the same measure of 3 feet.

One length of the window is 5 feet. Since the last side is opposite to the length of the window, it has the same length, i.e., its value is 5 feet.
