Astreet light is mounted at the top of a 15-ft-tall pole. a man 6 ft tall walks away from the pole with a speed of 4 ft/s along a straight path. how fast is the tip of his shadow moving when he is 45 ft from the pole?

The tip of the man shadow moves at the rate of

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's draw a figure that describes the given situation.

Let "x" be the distance between the man and the pole and "y" be distance between the pole and man's shadows tip point.

Here it forms two similar triangles.

Let's find the distance "y" using proportion.

From the figure, we can form a proportion.

Cross multiplying, we get

15(y -x) = 6y

15y - 15x = 6y

15y - 6y = 15x

9y = 15x

y =

We need to find rate of change of the shadow. So we need to differentiate y with respect to the time (t).

----(1)

We are given . Plug in the equation (1), we get

Here the distance between the man and the pole 45 ft does not need because we asked to find the how fast the shadow of the man moves.

answer: the answer is simply nothing.

step-by-step explanation: because there is no ending to this question

94

step-by-step explanation:

average the numbers and use a variable to figure out the minimum to get a 90.

(79+94+91+92+x)/5=90

x = 94
