Answer:
The lamppost is 30 ft tall.
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to draw a diagram of the problem. Refer to attachment.
Now you need to convert the measurements that are in feet to in. The 1 foot ruler is now 12 in. and the 5 foot post's shadow is now 60 in.
The next step is to create a proportion between both angles.
x over 1 is simplified to x and 60 divided by 2 is just 30. So the lamppost is 30 ft tall.
Hope that helped. :)
If
Then:
Sub in the coordinates given to you:
Now:
Move 1.5 to the other side of the equation and flip the sign.
Therefore, .
Replace in the formula (y=mx+c):
There is your answer.
For the secound one u multiply I belive
1)v/4-3=5
v-12=20
v=32
2)u/5+3=1
u+15=5
u=-10
3)6+z/9=9
54+z=81
z=27
4)-7+f/2=-1
-14+f=-2
f=12
5)9+w/4=-5
36+w=-20
w=-56
6)e/7-3=-5
e-21=-35
e=-14
7)-8+d/5=2
-40+d=10
d=50
8)u/5+3=6
u+15=30
u=15
9)f/-3+5=8
f-15=-24
f=-9
