We need the rest of the question :)
We are given the height of Joe which is 1.6 meters, the length of his shadow is 2 meters when he stands 3 meters from the base of the floodlight.
First, we have to illustrate the problem. Then we can observe two right triangles formed, one is using Joe and the length of the shadow, the other is the floodlight and the sum of the distance from the base plus the length of the shadow. To determine the height of the floodlight, use ratio and proportion:
1.6 / 2 = x / (2 +3)
where x is the height of the flood light
solve for x, x = 4. Therefore, the height of the floodlight is 4 meters.
(8/9) / 6 =
8/9 * 1/6 =
8/54 which reduces to 4/27 of the book each day <===
45x+zy=-c is the anser because of many reasons
16 x 8 = 128 square feet (area of rectangle)
shaded:
8 x 2 = 16
10 x 1 = 10
1/2 (3)(10) = 15
total shaded area: 16+10+15 = 41 square feet
total non-shaded area = 128 - 41 = 87 square feet
answer
area of the shaded region = 41 square feet
area of the non - shaded region = 87 square feet
