Answer: 366 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

First since Nicole is standing right next to the statue of liberty it can be concludes that the ratio of her height to her shadow length is also the same as the ratio of the statue of liberty's height to its shadow length

Labelling the shadow height of the statue of liberty which we are to find by x

The ratio of Nicole's height to her shadow length = 5/6

And the ratio of the statue of liberty's height to its shadow length = 305/x

Equation these two expressions

5/6 = 305/x

Cross multiplying

5x = 305(6)

5x = 18360

Dividing both sides by 5

x = 1830/5

x = 366

So therefore, the length of the shadow of the statue of liberty is 366

Two cars leave towns 360 kilometers apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One car's rate is 12 kilometers per hou
mixer [17]
Let x = speed of the first car

the second car is 12 km slower so the seconds car speed is x-12

 they each drove 2 hours so 1st car = 2x
2nd car = 2(x-12)
 
they drove 360 km
 so you have 2x + 2(x-12) = 360
 solve for x

2x+2(x-12) = 360

2x + 2x-24 = 360

4x-24 = 360

4x = 384
x = 384/4
x = 96

1st car drove at 96 km per hour

slower car drove at 96-12 = 84 km per hour
