The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

 

1.8/2 = h / (1+2)

So the lamppost is 2.7 meters tall. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.

A boy stands 1 meter away from a lamppost. He is 1.8 meters tall and casts a shadow 2 meters long in the light from the lamp

The diagram is attached below using the given information

We have two similar triangle

Triangle ACD is similar to triangle ABE. So the sides are in proportional

\frac{DC}{EB} =\frac{AC}{AB}

AC = AB + BC = 3m

\frac{x}{1.8}=\frac{3}{2}

2x = 1.8 * 3 (cross multiply)

2x = 5.4

Divide by 2 on both sides

x = 2.7

Height of Lamppost is 2.7 meter

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:4

Step-by-step explanation:

Ex (increase, such as taxes or price hike):

I want to increase $5 by 20%.

That means I would have to find the product of $5 and 120%.

$5*1.20=6

If you increase $5 by 20%, you will get $6.

Ex (decrease, such as a discount or a special deal):

I want to decrease $5 by 20%.

That means I would have to find the product of $5 and 80%.

$5*.80=4

If you decrease $5 by 20%, you will get 4.
