Answer: 20 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The mirror is set away from the flagpole on the same scale set away from her.
The distance she stand's away from the mirror is 1/4 of the length of the distance between the mirror and the flag pole because she's 1/4 of the flagpole's size.
This means her size x4 is the size for the flag pole. This checks out because 12x4=48
So to find the height we must do 5x4
5x4=20
Answer: The second answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
1 m = 100 cm
1 m^3 = 1^6 cm^3
so 1 cm^3 = 10^-6 m^3
and 1 L = 1000 cm^3 = 10^-3 m^3
The woman is 6 foot tall
<h3>What is proportion?</h3>
Proportion can be defined as the mathematical comparison of two numbers.
These numbers could be numbers, elements, set or people
From the information given, we have that;
- The globe is 3 feet and casts a shadow of 8ft
- The woman cast a shadow of 16ft and is x feet tall
So,
if the globe is 3 foot tall and casts a shadow of 8ft
Then the woman is x foot tall to cast a shadow of 16ft
cross multiply
8x = 24
Make 'x' the subject
x = 48/ 8
x = 6 foot
Thus, the woman is 6 foot tall
