Answer:

The height of the Eiffel Tower is 320 meters .

Option (d) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the height of the tower be x.

Let us assume that the shadow of the tower be y.

(As the shadow is always varies upon height .)

Thus

x \propto y

x =ky

\frac{x}{y}= k

As given

She used a 1.2 meter model of the tower and measured its shadow at 2 P.M.

The length of the shadow was 0.9 meter.

Here x = 1.2 meter

y = 0.9 meter

\frac{1.2}{0.9}= k

As given the Eiffel Tower’s shadow is 240 meters.

Here x = Height of Eiffel tower

y = 240 meters.

and

\frac{1.2}{0.9}= k

Put in the equation

\frac{x}{y}= k

\frac{Height\ of\ Eiffel\ Tower}{240} = \frac{1.2}{0.9}

Height\ of\ Eiffel\ Tower = \frac{1.2\times 240}{0.9}

Height\ of\ Eiffel\ Tower = \frac{288}{0.9}

Simplify the above

Height of the Eiffel Tower = 320 meters .

Therefore the height of the Eiffel Tower is 320 meters .

Option (d) is correct.

One of the formulas for calculating the correct dosage for a child is as follows: C= a/((a+12)) ∙ 180 C = child’s dosage in mill
bogdanovich [222]
So you already have the formula for calculating the dosage for child with: C = a/(a+12)x 180 ml Not sure why you have double brackets

variables are: a = child's age, so everywhere you have an "a" replace it with the age of child.

Example: 5 year old child

C = 5/(5+12)*180= 5/(17)*180 = 5/3060 = .0016 ml or milligrams
