Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

height of pole = 22 ft

height of girl = 5 ft

let the distance of girl from the foot to street light is x and the tip of shadow is at a distance from the street light.

dx / dt = 7 ft/s

By using the similarity of two triangles

\frac{y-x}{5}=\frac{y}{22}

22 y - 22 x = 5 y

17 y = 22 x

y=\frac{22}{17}x

Differentiate both sides with respect to t.

\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{22}{17}\times \frac{dx}{dt}

\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{22}{17}\times 7

dy/dt = 9.06 ft/s

Thus, the tip of the shadow is moving with speed 9.06 ft /s.
