At a particular time, objects and their shadows are proportionate.
Therefore, in figure,
--- (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
AB = 48
Hence, the height of the lighthouse is 48 feet.

Answer:
Probability from Urban Area =
Probability NOT from Rural Area =
Step-by-step explanation:
Total 178
Urban 110
Suburban 56
Rural 12
Hence, probability of x is number of x divided by total.
So, probability that she is from an urban area = 110/178 = 55/89
And
probability NOT a rural area (means urban and suburban which is 110+56=166) = 166/178 = 83/89
