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

Diagram 5 shows a triangle ABD such that AD = 17 cm, AB = 10 cm and BD = 21 cm. The straight line AC is perpendicular to the str
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

100 = x^2 + AC^2

17^2 = AC^2 + (21 - x)^2

289 = AC^2 + 21^2 + x^2 - 2*21*x

289 =<u> AC^2</u> + 441 +<u> x^2</u> - 42x

from 1st equation AC^2 + x^2 = 100

289 = 441 + 100 - 42x

289 = 541 - 42x

42x = 541 - 289 = 252

x = 252/42 = 6

so AC^2 = 100 - 6^2 = 100 - 36 = 64

AC = 8
