Answer:
6.9 foot.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Length of lamp post= 12-foot.
The angle of elevation of the sun is 60°.
∴ The length of Lamp post, which is opposite is 12-foot.
Now, finding the length of shadow cast by foot lamp.
Length of shadow is adjacent.
∴ We know the formula for =
Next, putting the value in the formula.
⇒
Cross multiplying both side and using the value of Tan 60°
∴ Adjacent= ≅ 6.9 (nearest tenth value)
6.9 is the length of shadow cast by a 12-foot lamp post.
This seems like a right triangle problem.
So assuming 14 feet is the hypotenuse and 4 feet is a leg of the right triangle, we can use the pythagorean theorem () to solve for the height of the house, in which we shall name it x.
So, the equation is .
Solve for x:
16+x^{2}= 196
x^{2}= 196-16
x^{2}= 180
x = 6√5 feet
Hope this helps!
