I'm assuming the angle of the sunlight remains constant.

you can visualize these shadows as similar right triangles, where the short vertical legs are the objects, and the longer horizontal legs are the shadows themselves. because they are similar triangles, the corresponding sides are proportional to one another. that means:

object 1 / shadow 1 = object 2 / shadow 2
6.3 / 18.9 = 13.8 / x
x is the shadow of the second object, the one whose shadow we don't know yet.
solve the proportion by cross-multiplication:
6.3x = 18.9*13.8
6.3x = 260.82
x = 41.4

Use similar triangles (see the picture I drew at the bottom)

\frac{6.3}{13.8} = \frac{18.9}{x} \\6.3x=(13.8)(18.9)\\6.3x=260.82\\x=41.4

Are these rates equivalent, 96 words typed for 3 minutes; 160 words typed for 5 minutes
monitta
<h2>Greetings</h2>

Answer:

Yes, they are.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>1st rate)</h3>

Lets simplify both rates to the rate typer per minute.

(m is minutes)

3m = 96

Divide both sides by 3:

\frac{3m}{3} = \frac{96}{3}

m = 32

So the rate is 32 words per minute.

<h3>2nd rate</h3>

5m = 160

Divide both sides by 5:

\frac{5m}{5} = \frac{160}{5}

m = 32

<h3>So because the rates per minute are the same, they are equivalent.</h3>
