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.

You would add 10.3 and 5.9 which would equal 16.2, and subtract that from 20 and change that decimal into a fraction, which would be 19/50

If <br> B is the midpoint of AC, AB=x+6 and AC=5x-6, then what is BC?
nikklg [1K]

If B is the midpoint of AC, then AB=BC. It is also BC=AC-AB

AB = x + 6

AC = 5x - 6

BC = (5x - 6) - (x + 6)

We can kinda use distributive property, like this:

BC = 5x - 6 -x - 6

Combine like terms:

BC = 4x - 12

To verify, we can add AB and BC to see if their sum is equal to AC.

(x + 6) + (4x - 12) = 5x - 6

If we are correct, this equation will be true.

x + 6 + 4x - 12 = 5x - 6

Combine like terms:

6 + 5x - 12 = 5x - 6

5x - 6 = 5x - 6

It's correct!

BC = 4x - 12. Final Answer.

Let me know if you have any questions about this! :)
