This is the concept of linear proportionality;
We are required to find the height of the tower in feet. The height of the tower will be found as follows;
[height of tower]/[length of the shadow of tower]=[height of post]/[length of shadow of the post]
height of the tower =h
height of the shadow=100ft
height of post=4 ft 6in=4 1/2 ft= 9/2 ft
length of the post's shadow=3 ft 4 in 3 1/3 ft=10/3 ft
N/B 1 ft= 12 inches
thus;
h/100=(9/2)/(10/3)
multiplying both sides by 100 we get:
h=(9/2)/(10/3)*100
h=9/2*3/10*100
h=135 ft
the answer is 135 ft
Answer:
-14.29422
Step-by-step explanation:
rounded to the nearest tenth = <em>-14.3</em>
X= base
one side= x-6
other side= 4+x
x+x-6+4+x = 43
3x=43+2
x=15 length of base
