1. You should draw a diagram with the information given in the problem. As you can see in the figure attached, there are two triangles, so, you can calculate the height of the lamp post as below:
 
 h1/b1=h2/b2
 
 h1 is the height asked.
 b1=360 cm+ 90 cm
 b1=450 cm
 h2=160 cm
 b2=90 cm
 
 2. When you substitute these values into  h1/b1=h2/b2, you obtain:
 
 h1/450 cm=160 cm/90 cm
 
 3. Now, you must clear the height "h1". Then, you have:
 
 h1=(160 cm)(450 cm)/90 cm
 h1=72000 cm²/90 cm
 h1=800 cm

 The answer is: 800 cm

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

207 cubic centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

volume of cone  = 9 cubic centimeters

Since the cone and cylinder above have the same radius, r, and height, h, then r = h

volume of the cone = 1/3πr²h

69 =  1/3πr²h

πr²h = 69*3

πr²h = 207cubic cm

Since the volume of the cylinder =  πr²h

Hence volume of the cylinder is 207 cubic centimeters
