At a particular time, objects and their shadows are proportionate.
Therefore, in figure,
--- (1)
where AB is the height of the lighthouse, BC, its shadow and FD is the height of Zara and DE is her shadow.
From the given information,
BC = 36 feet
FD = 4 feet and DE = 3 feet
(1) becomes
AB = 48
Hence, the height of the lighthouse is 48 feet.
2-3(z-5)+11=4
<em>Distribute</em>
2-3z+15+11=4
<em>Move the constants to gether but make sure they keep thei signs</em>
2+15+11-3z=4
<em>Simplify</em>
28-3z=4
<em>Start to Isolate the variable by subtracting </em>28<em> from </em><u><em>both</em></u><em> sides of the equation</em>
-3z=-24
<em>Completely isolate the variable by deviding the </em><u><em>whole</em></u><em> equation by </em>-3
z=8
