Answer: 80 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write these as fractions and do cross multiplication with the numerator being the height of the object while the denominator being the length of the shadow:

5 * 128 = 8x

640 = 8x

80 = x

Thus, the height of the lighthouse is 80 feet tall.

Find an equation of the line passing through the given points. Write the equation in the function notation.
Mrrafil [7]
First you need to find the slope of the line using the given coordinates of the two points.
The slope of the line = (1-4)/(4-3) = -3
Then you choose one pair of the coordinates given, either (3,4) or (4,1) , up to you, to find the equation of the line.
If you choose (3,4)
Then
(y-4)/(x-3) = -3
(y-4) = -3x+9
y = -3x+13

If you choose (4,1),
Then
(y-1)/(x-4) = -3
y-1 = -3x+12
y = -3x+13

So, F(x)=-3x+13
