A6 foot tall man is standing 8 feet from the base of a lamppost, as shown in the diagram. if the light from the lamppost casts a 4 foot shadow of the man, what is the height in feet of the lamppost?

a. 18
b. 14
c. 12
d. 9

The answer to your question is letter A. 18 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Man height = 6 ft

distance from the lamppost to the man = 8 ft

shadow = 4 ft

height of the lamppost = x

Process

1.- Use proportions to use this problem

2.- Solve for x

3.- Simplifying and result

                     x = 18 ft

where are the options?

step-by-step explanation:

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
