The height of a street light is 54 feet. it casts a 32−foot shadow. at the same time, a man standing next to the street light casts a 4−foot shadow. how tall is the man? if needed, round the answer to the nearest hundredth.

  6.75 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The man's shadow is 1/8 the length of the pole's shadow, so we presume the man is 1/8 the height of the pole:

  (54 ft)/8 = 6.75 ft . . . . height of the man

We have to assume that the source of light casting the shadows is not the street light.

rick has $1400 and sally has $1500

step-by-step explanation:

to find amount of money rick has after 10 years :

principal = $1000 , time = 10 years , rate = 4% annually

to find amount of money sally has after 10 years :

her friend gives to pay her $50 per year, therefore money she has after 10 years = 50 × 10 = $500

also, sally gets $1000 after 10 years,

therefore, total amount of money sally has after 10 years = 500 + 1000 = $1500

so, after 10 years : rick has $1400 and sally has $1500
