Daniel decides to use the method of proportions and similar triangles to find the height of a tower. He measures the length of the
tower's shadow and finds it is 72 feet long. Then he holds a 12-inch
ruler perpendicular to the ground and finds that it casts an 24-inch
shadow. How tall is the tower?
a. 3 ft c. 36 ft
b. 4 ft d. 144 ft

It's C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Have a good day.

exactly you go it

step-by-step explanation:

answer: (-8,4) are the coordinates of a

step-by-step explanation:

let the side of square abcd is x .

thus the area of square abcd is .

now, by the diagram area of triangle ead= 1/2 × ea × ad = 1/2 × ea × x

( because ad is the side of square)

and, according to the question,

the areas of square abcd and right ead are equal.

⇒

⇒ea=2x

thus, ea: ab=2: 1

therefore, point a divides line segment eb into the ratio 2: 1.

⇒ by sectional formula coordinates of a are,

=

=

=(-8, 4)

thus the coordinates of a are (-8,4)
