Answer:

20 feet tall

Step-by-step explanation:

If these are at the same angle, which i'm assuming they are, the following would happen:

Put length of 1 item over its shadows length equal to 2nd items length over its shadow. Put x in the place you want to find (Lamp in this case)

(3/1.8)=(x/12)

Cross multiply

36=1.8x

Divide by 1.8 on both sides

20=x

32°+81°=113°

For a complete triangle to form it needs to be 180°. So all you do is subtract 180° by the sum of 32° and 81°.

180°-113°=67°

The answer is 67°

1 foot = 12 inch so 6 feet = 6*12 inch
6 feet = 72 inch

The height of the person in inch is = 72+1 = 73 inch

1 meter.............39.37 in
x meters.......... 73 in

Answer:

4 weekdays and 2 weekends.

Step-by-step explanation:

6 days.

x = weekdays

y = weekends

7x = amount with weekdays

12y = amount with weekends

7x + 12y = 52, total

x + y = 6, amount of days

solve double variable equation

x = 6 - y, plug in to 1st equation

7(6 - y) + 12y = 52

42 - 7y + 12y = 52

5y = 10

y = 2 weekends

2 + x = 6

x = 4 weekdays
