The most appropriate choice for similarity of triangles will be given by -
Speed of tip of the shadow of woman = 6 ft/s
What are similar triangles?
Two triangles are said to be similar, if the corrosponding angles of the triangles are same and the corrosponding sides of the triangles are in the same ratio.
Here,
The diagram has been attached here
Let the distance of woman from the pole be x ft and the distance of tip of the shadow to the pole be y ft.
Height of street light = 18 ft
Height of woman = 6ft
The two triangles are similar [As height of woman is parallel to the height of pole]
To find the speed, we have to differentiate both sides with respect to time 't'
Speed of tip of her shadow = 6 ft

Answer:
Test statistic t=6.505
P-value=0
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a hypothesis test for the population mean.
The claim is that parents tend to underestimate their youngest child's size.
Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:
The significance level is assumed to be 0.05.
The sample has a size n=39.
The sample mean is M=7.5.
As the standard deviation of the population is not known, we estimate it with the sample standard deviation, that has a value of s=7.2.
The estimated standard error of the mean is computed using the formula:
Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:
The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:
This test is a right-tailed test, with 38 degrees of freedom and t=6.505, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):
As the P-value (0) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the effect is significant.
The null hypothesis is rejected.
There is enough evidence to support the claim that parents tend to underestimate their youngest child's size.
