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:
7/12
1/6 to 2/12 add 5/12 to get 7/12
Let's start by imagining a rock being thrown to the air.
Let's say that going up is the positive direction and so, going down is the negative.
The acceleration is pointing down (because of gravity) so it's always negative. While the rock is going up, it's velocity/speed is positive, but the acceleration is negative.
While the rock is going down, both acceleration and speed are negative.
This shows that the first statemente is true, but the second is false.
You can also think that if you define going DOWN as the POSITIVE direction, you can have both positive acceleration and speed, or positive acceleration and negative speed.
