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

A landscape designer has to construct a rectangular flower bed with a perimeter of 100 feet and the maximum possible area. What
Alinara [238K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

   625 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The greatest area of a polygon with a given perimeter is that of a regular polygon. A regular rectangle is one that has all sides the same length -- a square. The side length of a square with 100 ft perimeter is 25 ft. The area of a square with such a side length is

  A = (25 ft)² = 625 ft²

The maximum possible area is 625 ft².

__

In the attached, x is the length of one side. The area versus side length is plotted. The maximum is seen to be 625 ft² for a side length of 25 ft.
