The Big Ben clocktower in London is approximately 316 feet tall. Shana is standing nearby and notices that she casts a 4-foot shadow. If Shana is 5 feet tall, find the length of Big Ben's shadow?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The length of Big Ben shadow is 252.8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The height of the Big Ben clocktower in London ≈ 316 feet tall

The length of the shadow Shana casts = 4-foot

The height of Shania = 5 feet

Therefore, we have, by similar triangles;

[tex]\dfrac{The \ length \ of \ the \ shadow \ Shana \ casts }{The \ height \ of \ Shania} = \dfrac{The \ length \ of \ the \ shadow \ The \ Big \ Ben \ casts}{The \ height \ of \ the \ Big \ Ben \ clocktower}[/tex]Substituting the values, gives;

[tex]\dfrac{4 \ feet}{5 \ feet} = \dfrac{The \ length \ of \ the \ shadow \ The \ Big \ Ben \ casts}{316 \ feet}[/tex]

[tex]The \, length \, of \, the \, shadow \, The \, Big \, Ben \ clocktower \ casts = 316 \ feet \times \dfrac{4 \ feet}{5 \ feet} = 252.8 \ feet[/tex]

The length of the shadow The Big Ben clocktower casts = The length of Big Ben shadow = 252.8 feet

Solve the system. 3x - 2y = 12 and 3x - 3y = -2

Answers

Answer:

x = 4 + -0.6666666667y x = 1 + y

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

3x + 2y = 12

Solving

3x + 2y = 12

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2y' to each side of the equation.

3x + 2y + -2y = 12 + -2y

Combine like terms: 2y + -2y = 0

3x + 0 = 12 + -2y

3x = 12 + -2y

Divide each side by '3'.

x = 4 + -0.6666666667y

Simplifying

x = 4 + -0.6666666667y

Simplifying

3x + -3y = 3

Solving

3x + -3y = 3

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '3y' to each side of the equation.

3x + -3y + 3y = 3 + 3y

Combine like terms: -3y + 3y = 0

3x + 0 = 3 + 3y

3x = 3 + 3y

Divide each side by '3'.

x = 1 + y

Simplifying

x = 1 + y
