A street light is mounted at the top of a 15-ft-tall pole. A man 6 feet tall walks away from the pole with a speed of 5 ft/s along a straight path. How fast (in ft/s) is the tip of his shadow moving when he is 45 feet from the pole

25/3 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of pole , h=15 ft

Height of man, h'=6 ft

Let BD=x

BE=y

DE=BE-BD=y-x

All right triangles are similar

When two triangles are similar then the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal.

Therefore,

Differentiate w.r.t t

We have dx/dt=5ft/s

Using the value

Hence, the tip of  his shadow moving  with a speed 25/3 ft/s when he is 45 feet from the pole.

The tip pf the shadow is moving with speed 25/3 ft/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

height of pole = 15 ft

height of man = 6 ft

x = 45 ft

According to the diagram, dx/dt = 5 ft/s.

Now

an advantage of the standard deviation is that it increases as the dispersion of the data increases. e. the interquartile range is preferred when the data are not skewed or no have outliers. an advantage of the standard deviation is that it uses all the observations in its computation.
