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

rjkz [21]

Answer:

28.5 ft^3

58.3 m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of a pyramid = 1/3 x length x width x height

Perimeter of a pyramid = 4 x length

10.1 = 4 x length

length = 10.1 / 4 = 2.525

1/3 x (2.525 x 2.525 x 13.4) = 28.5 ft^3

1/3 x (6.1 x 6.1 x 4.7) = 58.3 m^3

the tenth is the first number after the decimal place. To convert to the nearest tenth, look at the number after the tenth (the hundredth). If the number is greater or equal to 5, add 1 to the tenth figure. If this is not the case, add zero
