We are given the height of Joe which is 1.6 meters, the length of his shadow is 2 meters when he stands 3 meters from the base of the floodlight. 

First, we have to illustrate the problem. Then we can observe two right triangles formed, one is using Joe and the length of the shadow, the other is the floodlight and the sum of the distance from the base plus the length of the shadow. To determine the height of the floodlight, use ratio and proportion:

1.6 / 2 = x / (2 +3)

where x is the height of the flood light

solve for x, x = 4. Therefore, the height of the floodlight is 4 meters.

Solve –16t² +144= 0 to find the number of seconds, t, it takes for an object dropped from 144 ft above the ground to hit the gro
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

h(t) = -16t2 + 144

h(1) = -16(12) + 144 = 128 ft

h(2) = -16(22) + 144 = 80 ft

h(2) - h(1) = 80 - 128 = -48 ft

It fell 48 ft between t = 1 and t = 2 seconds.

It reaches the ground when h(t) = 0

0 = -16t2 + 144

t = √(144/16) s = 3s

It reaches the ground 3s after being dropped.

20 POINTS: solve for x.
lara [203]

Answer:x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

Here AD=6

AB=6 (tangents drawn from external point to a circle are equal)

Then BC=13-6=7

Now, CE=BC=7(tangents drawn from external point to a circle are equal)

EF=14-7=7

EF=FG=x=7(tangents drawn from external point to a circle are equal)

Need help with a math question
Margaret [11]

Answer:

90 sq inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The lateral area is the side area of the pyramid. In this case, there are 3 sides because the base is a triangle.  Since the base is an equilateral triangle, all sides are of equal dimensions.  So, the sides of the pyramid are also all of the same size, area.

We then just have to figure out the area of one of the side triangles, then multiply it by 3 to get the total lateral area of that pyramid.

We know how to calculate the area of a triangle: A = (b * h)/2

In this case, b = 5 in, h = 12 in. So,

TA = (5 * 12)/2 = 60 / 2 = 30

Each side triangle has an area of 30 sq inches.

LA = 3 * TA (since there are 3 sides)

LA = 3 * 30 = 90 sq inches
