Answer:  11.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The height of Fatim = 6 feet

At noon, he stands with the sun behind him casting a shadow. Also, Fatima is standing vertical to the ground such that a right triangle is formed.

Let the length of Fahim’s shadow be x.

By Pythagoras theorem , we have

13^2=x^2+6^2\\\\\Rightarrow169=x^2+36\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2=169-36\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2=133\\\\\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{133}=11.5325625947\approx11.5

Hence, the  length of Fahim’s shadow =11.5 feet

Dmitrij [34]
We have to calculate the amount of money Peter will have in his account after 5 years. Formula for the amount after t years with interest compounded continuously : A = P * e^(r t ). We know that r = 0.06; t = 5; e = 2.71 and P = $8,000. A = 8,000 * 2.718^( 0.06 * 5 ) = 8,000 * 2,718^( 0.3 ) = 8,000 * 1.3488158 = 10,798.53. Answer:<span> B. $10,798.53. </span>
