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.

Spencer made a quilt for his cousin's doll. The quilt had a 7x7 array of different color square patches. If each patch is 1 3/4
Damm [24]

Answer:

\frac{2401}{16} square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The quilt made by Spencer had a 7×7 array of different color square patches such that each patch is 1\frac{3}{4} in long.

To find: the area of the whole quilt

Solution:

Side of each quilt = 7(\frac{3}{4})=7(\frac{7}{4})=\frac{49}{4}

Quilt is in the form of a square such that area of square is given by (side)^2

Therefore, area of quilt = (side)^2=(\frac{49}{4})^2 =\frac{2401}{16}  square inches
