Answer:

3ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Height of lamp, h=12ft

Height of shadow, l=6ft

Height of shadow of hydrant, l'=1.5ft

Let height of hydrant=h'

We have to find the height of fire hydrant.

All right triangles are similar

When two triangles are similar then, the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal.

Using the property

\frac{h}{h'}=\frac{l}{l'}

\frac{12}{h'}=\frac{6}{1.5}

h'=\frac{12\times 1.5}{6}

h'=3ft

Hence, the height of fire hydrant=3 ft

Please help me. It’s geometry

Option 3:

m∠ABC = 66°

Solution:

Given \overline {F A D} \| \overline {E H C} and ABH is a transversal line.

m∠FAB = 48° and m∠ECB = 18°

m∠ECB = m∠HCB = 18°

<u>Property of parallel lines: </u>

<em>If two parallel lines cut by a transversal, then the alternate interior angles are equal.</em>

m∠FAB = m∠BHC

48° = m∠BHC

m∠BHC = 48°

<u>Exterior angle of a triangle theorem: </u>

<em>An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles.</em>

m∠ABC = m∠BHC + m∠HCB

m∠ABC = 48° + 18°

m∠ABC = 66°

Option 3 is the correct answer.
