Answer: 11.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We should note that for a right angles triangle, the square of the hypothenuse equals to the square of the opposite side and its adjacent. This can be expressed as:

Let the length of Fahims shadow be x

hypotenuse² = opposite² + adjacent ²

13² = 6² + x²

169 = 36 + x²

x² = 169 - 36

x² = 133

x =✓133

x = 11.53

= 11.5 feet to nearest tenth

Lines l and m are parallel. When they are cut by the two transversals below, a triangle is formed.
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

<2 = 34degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached below:

First we need to get <1;

<1 + 74 = 180 (angle on a straight line)

<1 = 180 - 74

<1 = 106degrees

Also, <1 + <2 + 40 = 180 (sum of angle in a triangle)

106+<2 + 40 = 180

146 + <2 = 180

<2 = 180-146

<2 = 34degrees
