Check out the attached image for the drawing of how this would look. The drawing isn't 100% needed but it helps I think.
Based on the figure shown in the attachment, we have a right triangle with the adjacent leg of 80 (this leg is closest to the bottom 12 degree angle) and an opposite leg of h
In short,
adjacent = 80
opposite = h
We'll use the tangent rule
tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent
tan(12) = h/80
80*tan(12) = h
h = 80*tan(12)
h = 17.0045249336018 <<-- see note below
So the lighthouse is roughly
17.0045249336018 meters tall
Answer: 17.0045249336018Note: Make sure you are in degree mode. The value is approximate. Round this answer however you need to
1. Decrease
2.Increase
3.Decrease
4.Increase
5.Decrease
6.Decrease
Well 8x25x23 = 4,600 but what do you need to subtract by?
The height of the pole is 12.5 feet.
<h3>What is Unitary method?</h3>
The unitary method is a technique for solving a problem by first finding the value of a single unit, and then finding the necessary value by multiplying the single unit value.
Given:
Cindy's shadow is 5 feet.
length of the shadow of the pole at the same time, she finds it to be 12.5 feet.
So,
12.5/5=x/5,
62.5=5x
x= 12.5 feet.
Hence, the height of the pole is 12.5 feet.

There are different types of equations of lines.
There are these three main forms, but I'll focus on just 2:
Slope-Intercept Form:
y = mx + b
Where,
"m" = slope
"b" = y-intercept
Point-Slope Form:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Where,
"m" = slope
"y1" = A y point on the graph
"x1" = A x point on the graph that correlates with the y value.
y = 6x - 12
Is in the same form of Slope-Intercept:
So,
y = 6x - 12
m = 6
b = -12
So our slope is,
6
Keep in mind if it was a fraction (Example: 6/5, then the slope is 6/5) the slope will be the entire fraction.
Also remember slope is the RISE over the RUN meaning it is the y value over the x value. So in this case we would go UP 6 and right 1 (because 6 is understood as 6/1).
