Answer: The lamppost is 7 feet 2 inches
Step-by-step explanation: If Ann measured her own height and her shadow, then what she used is a ratio between both measurements. If she can measure the shadow of the lamppost, then she can use the same ratio of her height and it’s shadow to derive the correct measurement of the lamppost.
If Ann’s height was measured as 5 feet 3 inches, and her shadow was 8 feet 9 inches, the ratio between them can be expressed as 3:5.
Reduce both dimensions to the same unit, that is, inches. (Remember 12 inches = 1 foot)
Ratio = 63/105
Reduce to the least fraction
Ratio = 3/5
If the height of the lamppost is H, then
H/144 = 3/5
H = (144 x3)/5
H = 86.4
Therefore the lamppost is approximately 86 inches, that is 7 feet and 2 inches tall.
This is because minus times minus is equals plus so the sign must change
The radius is shown as 5 cm,
Use the given formula:
Using 3.14 for PI:
Volume = 4/3 x 3.14 x 5^3
Volume = 523.33 cubic cm
The question is cut off, so round the answer as needed.
