Answer:
The street light is 20 feet tall.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question depends on a proportion. Keep your height of the object in one ratio and the length of the shadow in the other.
25/x = 75/60 Notice the height of the structure is on the left. The length of the shadow is on the right. Cross multiply
75x = 60 * 25 Combine the right
75x = 1500 Divide by 75
x = 1500/75
x = 20
-6
(1-3)(1+2)=-2*3=-6
1st question is 1:2
2nd question is 5
15 times two is 30, so if you divide both 15 and 30 by 15, you get 1:2
Divide 300 and 60 and you get 5.
