Answer:

The length of Big Ben shadow is 252.8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The height of the Big Ben clocktower in London ≈ 316 feet tall

The length of the shadow Shana casts = 4-foot

The height of Shania = 5 feet

Therefore, we have, by similar triangles;

\dfrac{The \ length \ of \ the \ shadow \ Shana \ casts }{The \ height \ of \ Shania} = \dfrac{The \ length \ of \ the \ shadow \ The \ Big \ Ben  \ casts}{The \ height \ of \ the \ Big \ Ben \ clocktower}Substituting the values, gives;

\dfrac{4 \ feet}{5 \ feet} = \dfrac{The \ length \ of \ the \ shadow \ The \ Big \ Ben  \ casts}{316 \ feet}

The \, length \, of \, the \, shadow \, The \, Big \, Ben \ clocktower \ casts  = 316 \ feet \times   \dfrac{4 \ feet}{5 \ feet}  = 252.8 \ feet

The length of the shadow The Big Ben clocktower casts = The length of Big Ben shadow = 252.8 feet

Can an equilateral triangle ever be a right triangle too?
True [87]
No, it never can be a right triangle. 

First, all the angles of an equilateral triangle is 60 degrees because all angles are the same and all the angles add up to 180:

180/3 = 60.

So if it is a right angle it needs one angle 90 degrees which an equilateral triangle can't have,
