Answer:
48 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
At a particular time, objects and their shadows are proportionate.
Therefore, in figure,
AB/FD = BC/DE --- (1)
where AB is the height of the lighthouse, BC, its shadow and FD is the height of Zara and DE is her shadow.
From the given information,
BC = 36 feet
FD = 4 feet and DE = 3 feet
(1) becomes
AB/4 = 36/3
AB = 12
AB = 48
Hence, the height of the lighthouse is 48 feet.
Hello Alondra,
To solve this problem, you have to write a proportion using the ratios formed by the similar triangles.
Or proportion can be:
x/(x+2) = 10/15
Cross multiply to solve it:
10x + 20 = 15x
20 = 5x
4 = x
The value of x is 4.
I hope this helps,

Your question is a difference of squares. both terms that need to be factored are squared. to solve take the square root of each put into two terms one of addition and one of subtraction.
anwser= (5x-9)(5x+9)
the reason this works is because when you foil you get
25x²-45x+45x-81
the middle terms cancel revealing
25x²-81
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In finding the COMMON DIFFERENCE, subtract the 2nd term and the first term.
a1 = -4
a2 = -2
Let "d" representing the COMMON DIFFERENCE.
d = -2 -(-4)
d = -2 + 4
d = 2
ANSWER:
THE COMMON DIFFERENCE OF THIS SEQUENCE IS 2
