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.

What are your thoughts on the loss of trees? Explain. (At least 4 sentences long).
kipiarov [429]

Answer: My thoughts on the loss of trees is quite disappointing due to the fact that we need them to survive. The loss of trees is not something good for the environment because many animals need it for shelters. It could cause animals to be endangered because they can’t hide from predators or hunters. Hopefully the trees will start increasing in 2020.
