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.

The area of a circle is 16π cm2. What is the circle's circumference?
agasfer [191]

Answer:

C = 8 pi cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a circle is given by

A = pi r^2

16 pi = pi r^2

Divide each side by pi

16 = r^2

Taking the square root

4 = r

The circumference is

C = 2 * pi *r

C = 2* pi *(4)

C = 8 pi cm
