Answer:

122.6 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Shadow cast by the man = 3.1 m

Height of the man = 1.9 m

Shadow cast by the lighthouse = 200 m

Height of the lighthouse = x

If two shapes are similar, the ratio of their corresponding sides would be equal.

Therefore,

x/1.9 = 200/3.1

Multiply both sides by 1.9

x = (200*1.9)/3.1

x = 122.6 m (nearest tenth)

The lighthouse is 122.6 m tall

Maslowich

Answer:

$1.13x$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Camacho is buying a monster truck. The price of the truck is x dollars, and he also has to pay a 13% monster truck tax. We are asked to find the total amount paid by Camacho for the monster truck.

The total cost of monster truck would be x plus 13% of x.

$\text{The total cost of monster truck}=x+\frac{13}{100}x$

$\text{The total cost of monster truck}=x+0.13x$

$\text{The total cost of monster truck}=1.13x$

Therefore, Camacho paid $1.13x$ dollars in total for the truck.
