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
AC = AB + BC = 3m
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
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
To calculate m use the slope formula
m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (8, 4)
m = = -
, hence
y = - x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation
Using (8, 4), then
4 = - + c ⇒ c = 4 +
=
y = - x +
← equation of line
