At a particular time, objects and their shadows are proportionate.

Therefore, in figure,

\frac{AB}{FD}= \frac{BC}{DE} --- (1)

where AB is the height of the lighthouse, BC, its shadow and FD is the height of Zara and DE is her shadow.

From the given information,

BC = 36 feet

FD = 4 feet and DE = 3 feet

(1) becomes

\frac{AB}{4}= \frac{36}{3}

\frac{AB}{4}= 12

AB = 48

Hence, the height of the lighthouse is 48 feet.

How much greater is the area of a square with a side length of 9 inches than the area of a circle with a radius of 3 inches?
fredd [130]
The area of the square is 81 sq in, and the area of the circule is (3.14)(3 in)^2, or approx 3.14(9) sq in, or approx  28.27 sq in.

Subtract:  81 sq in - 28.27 sq in = approx. 52.73 sq in.

The difference is 52.73 sq in; the square is larger, the circle smaller.

What algebraic rule did you use to preform this<br> translation????
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

In geometry, a transformation is an operation that moves, flips, or changes a shape (called the preimage) to create a

new shape (called the image). A translation is a type of transformation that moves each point in a figure the same

distance in the same direction. Translations are often referred to as slides. You can describe a translation using words

like "moved up 3 and over 5 to the left" or with notation. There are two types of notation to know.

1. One notation looks like T(3, 5). This notation tells you to add 3 to the x values and add 5 to the y values.

2. The second notation is a mapping rule of the form (x, y) → (x−7, y+5). This notation tells you that the x and

y coordinates are translated to x−7 and y+5.

Please help me :( A standard six-sided die is rolled. What is the probability that it is not a 4?
zmey [24]

Answer:

The answer is 5/6, or .833, 3 repeated.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 4 is only one side of the die, or 1/6 if the surface of the die. So the other part that is left is the other 5/6 of the surface.
