4x^2-25= (2x)^2-5^2=(2x-5)(2x+5)
Used: a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)
it would be 0.9167 as a decimal. I hope this helps :)
Answer:
height of vertical post = 6ft
its shadow = 20 in
For all shadows cast at the same time, the ratio of the height of a shadow-casting structure to the length of its shadow is the same. (Assuming, of course, that it's the sun casting the shadows.)
So the ratio is
4 feet / 12 inches = 4 feet / 1 foot = 4/1 = 4,
and if h is the height of the cell tower,
h/122 feet = 4
h = 4 x 122 feet = 488 feet. <---------------- Final answer
