The runner has a height of 6.25 feet. The lamppost is 12.5 feet tall. If the shadow of the runner is 3 feet, how long would the shadow be of the lamppost?

step-by-step explanation:

stew:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (2650-795)/(10-3)

    = 1855/7

connie:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

we have two points (0,0) and (4,800)

m = (800-0)/(4-0)

  m = 800/4

question says to graph a triangle (xyz) and reflect it over the line y=x to create triangle x'y'z'.

we know that line y=x has both coordinates equal like (1,1), (5,5) etc so we can easily graph that reflecting line.

description of transformation:

we can see that x and y coordinate gets switched after transformation like (2,8) changed to (8,2)

what do you notice about the two line segments you drew:

we see that line segments xp and x'p are of same length and perpendicular to the reflecting line y=x.

do you think you would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line? :

yes, i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line.

how do you know? :

by measuring the length of yk and y'k.
