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

wolverine [178]
The function for conversions from Fahrenheit to Celsius is:

Celsius = (Fahrenheit - 32) x 5/9 

C(76.1) = (76.1 - 32) x 5/9
             = (44.1) x 5/9
             =  24.5

Therefore, 76.1 degrees Fahrenheit = 24.5 degrees Celsius.
