Answer:

27 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Total distance from base of lamp to tip of shadow

15 + 8 = 23

-------------------------

tan∅ = opp/adj

opp will be the height of the lamp

adj is 23

--------------------------

tan 50 = opp/23

multiply both sides by 23

23 * tan50 = opp

Use calculator

27.4 = opp

Rounded

27 feet

<em>Additional comment</em>

A pattern will have horizontal reflection if there exists a vertical line about which the pattern can be reflected to itself. That is, there exists one (or more) vertical lines of symmetry.

Similarly, the pattern will have vertical reflection if there is a horizontal line about which the pattern can be reflected to itself. Such a line is a horizontal line of symmetry.
