Answer:

48 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

At a particular time, objects and their shadows are proportionate.

Therefore, in figure,

AB/FD = BC/DE --- (1)

where AB is the height of the lighthouse, BC, its shadow and FD is the height of Zara and DE is her shadow.

From the given information,

BC = 36 feet

FD = 4 feet and DE = 3 feet

(1) becomes

AB/4 = 36/3

AB = 12

AB = 48

Hence, the height of the lighthouse is 48 feet.

Answer:

(-78/29, -619/29)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both equations are equal to y we can set them equal to each other

15x+19 = 1/2x - 20

Subtract 1/2x from each side

15x -1/2x +19 = -20

Subtract 19 from each side

14 1/2 x +19-19 = -20-19

Changing to an improper fraction

29/2 x = -38

Multiply each side by 2/29

x = 2/29 * -38

x = -78/29

Now find y

y = 1/2x - 20

y = 1/2 (-78/29) -20

y = -39/29 - 20

Get a common denominator

 =-39/20 - 580/29

 = -619/29

  -39/29 -580/29
