How tall would the lighthouse be?...

Mathematics
1 answer:
UkoKoshka [18]3 years ago
8 0

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

What is y+1=2(x-4) written in standard form
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

2x - y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in standard form is

Ax + By = C ( A is a positive integer and B, C are integers )

Rearrange y + 1 = 2(x - 4) into this form

y + 1 = 2x - 8 ( add 8 to both sides )

y + 9 = 2x ( subtract y from both sides )

9 = 2x - y ⇒ 2x - y = 9 ← in standard form
