Answer: The lamppost is 7 feet 2 inches
Step-by-step explanation: If Ann measured her own height and her shadow, then what she used is a ratio between both measurements. If she can measure the shadow of the lamppost, then she can use the same ratio of her height and it’s shadow to derive the correct measurement of the lamppost.
If Ann’s height was measured as 5 feet 3 inches, and her shadow was 8 feet 9 inches, the ratio between them can be expressed as 3:5.
Reduce both dimensions to the same unit, that is, inches. (Remember 12 inches = 1 foot)
Ratio = 63/105
Reduce to the least fraction
Ratio = 3/5
If the height of the lamppost is H, then
H/144 = 3/5
H = (144 x3)/5
H = 86.4
Therefore the lamppost is approximately 86 inches, that is 7 feet and 2 inches tall.
Okay so the answer would be
It's the same as finding the hypothenuse of a right triangle. Let c be the hypothenuse.
30 squared+ 50 squared= c squared.
900+ 2500= c squared
3400= c squared
Then find the square root of 3400 and that will equal c.
So, depending in what form the teacher was the answer. The answer will be square root of 3400 ft squared or 58.3 ft squared.
The answer is A y-28=3(x-6)
