The answer is b because are congruent
Answer:
Height of the streetlight ≈ 8 ft(nearest foot)
Step-by-step explanation:
The doc file displays the triangle formed from the illustration. x is the height of the street light. The distance from the gentle man to the street light is 10 ft. He has a height of 5.6 ft and the shadow formed on the ground is 24 ft long. The height of the street light can be calculated below.
The length of the tip of the shadow to the base of the street light is 34 ft. Similar triangle have equal ratio of their corresponding sides .
ab = 5.6 ft
The ratio of the base sides = 24/34
The ratio of the heights = 5.6/x
The two ratio are equal Therefore,
24/34 = 5.6/x
24x = 5.6 × 34
24x = 190.4
divide both side by 24
x = 190.4/24
x = 7.93333333333
x ≈ 8 ft
Height of the streetlight ≈ 8 ft(nearest foot)
The commutative property states that you can invert the order of the terms of a sum:
So, if you start with
Applying the commutative property you'll get
