A 6 foot person standing 20 feet from a street light Casts 5 foot shadow two similar triangles are formed when triangle is formed by the person into the shadows of the person cast think triangles formed by the street light in the ground from the base of the street like to the end of the street the street light how many times taller is the street light than the person

the street light is 5 times taller than the person

Step-by-step explanation:

I have drawn the triangle that depicts the question and attached it.

We are given;

Length of shadow; L1 = 5ft

Height of person; b1 = 6 ft

Distance from street light is 20ft.

Thus, total length of triangle base = 20 + 5 ft = 25 ft

From the image attached, we can use similar triangle theorem to know the height of the street light which is b2.

Thus;

5/25 = 6/b2

b2 = (25 × 6)/5

b2 = 30 ft

Street light is 30 ft and the person is 6 ft.

Thus, ratio of street light to person is; 30/6 = 5

Thus, the street light is 5 times taller than the person

41*67/2=1373.5

step-by-step explanation:

i just used a calculator

54 kilometers per hour

step-by-step explanation:

according to rules:

1 km = 1000 meter

which means that 1 meter = 1/1000 km

1 hour = 3600 second [ as 1 hour = 60 min = 60 *60 seconds ]

which means that 1 second = 1/3600 hour

therefore, 1 kilometer/hour =

thus to convert 15 meter per second to kilometer per hour, we multiply 15 to 3.6 kilometer/hour.

15 meter/second=   which is the required answer.
