Add 3x to both sides of the equation which means y=13+3x
The most appropriate choice for similarity of triangles will be given by -
Speed of tip of the shadow of woman = 6 ft/s
What are similar triangles?
Two triangles are said to be similar, if the corrosponding angles of the triangles are same and the corrosponding sides of the triangles are in the same ratio.
Here,
The diagram has been attached here
Let the distance of woman from the pole be x ft and the distance of tip of the shadow to the pole be y ft.
Height of street light = 18 ft
Height of woman = 6ft
The two triangles are similar [As height of woman is parallel to the height of pole]

To find the speed, we have to differentiate both sides with respect to time 't'

Speed of tip of her shadow = 6 ft

Answer: find the solution in the explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's use resolution of forces by resolving into x - component and y- component.
X - component.
Sum of forces = F1 - F3 - F4cos 15
Sum of forces = 0
5 - 5 - 0.97F4 = 0
- 0.97 F4 = 0
F4 = 0
Y - component
Sum of forces = F2 + F4 sin 15
Sum of forces = 0
5 + 0.26F4 = 0
0.26 F4 = -5
F4 = -5/0.26
F4 = -19.23 N
Simulating F4 back into the equation
Sum of forces = F1 - F3 - F4cos 15
- F4cos Ø = 0
- (-19.23) cos Ø = 0
Cos Ø = 0
Ø = 1
Does the angle formed approximate 15 degrees ? NO
