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

Solve 4(2a-1) = -10(a-5)
densk [106]
Firstly, you've got to expand the brackets, this becomes;
8a-4= -10a+ 50
You've then got to eliminate the -10a and you do this by adding 10a to both sides,
This then becomes 18a-4=50
You've then got to add 4, to eliminate this, which then becomes 18a=54
You've then got to divide both sides by 18, and this becomes 3.
Therefor, a=3
Hope this helps :)

7 times as much as the sum of 1/3 and 4/5
Zanzabum
Well first we want to divide 1 by 3 , which is 0.3  ,  Now we need to divide 4 by 5 which is 0.8 . 

We have our answers but 7 needs to be added by their sum so lets put them together by adding them : 0.3 + 0.8 = 1.1.

Now lets add 7 and 1.1 all together , which is 8.1.

What is the area of a rectangle with a dimension of 5 cm and 3/4 cm? PLEASE EXPLAIN AND I WILL MARK YOU BRAINLIEST.
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

<u>3.75 cm^2</u>

<u></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = Length x Width.

If we are given that the length is 5 cm and width is 3/4 cm ( you could convert this to a 0.75 if you want to as well ) we can plug this in:

Area = 5 cm x 3/4 cm

Solving for Area we get:

Area = 3.75 cm^2.
