They both have the same tangent ratio so let the height of the lighthouse be x and change all units into feet:

x/216 = 32/19

Multiply both sides by 216:

x = 6912/19

x = 363.7894737 feet

If A lighthouse casts a 128 foot shadow a nearby lamppost measures 5' 3 casts an 8 foot shadow Write a proportion that can be used to determine the height of the lighthouse?

To solve this you need to put 5.3 over 8 to represent the first lamp post then you need to put x over 128, so you can find the height of the lamp post. The lamp post is 84 feet 8 inches.


Why is x 6 a solution to the proportion?

To determine why ( x = 6 ) is a solution to a proportion, we need to check if it satisfies the equality established by the proportion. A proportion typically takes the form ( \frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d} ). If substituting ( x = 6 ) into the proportion results in both sides being equal, then ( x = 6 ) is indeed a valid solution.


What value of x will make this proportion true?

To determine the value of x that makes the proportion true, you need to set up the equation based on the given proportion. For example, if the proportion is a/b = c/d, you can cross-multiply to get ad = bc. Then, solve for x by isolating it on one side of the equation. If you provide the specific proportion, I can help you find the value of x.

What is meant by law of constant proportion and how is this law applied in experiment empirical formula of a compound?

The law of constant proportion states that a pure chemical compound always contains exactly the same proportion of elements by mass.This information, together with the atomic masses of the elements in the compound enable scientists to determine the formula of a compound.


How can we determine that water is a compound not a mixture?

Water is a compound because its molecules are formed of chemically combined elements (hydrogen and oxygen) in a fixed proportion. A mixture is a combination of separate atoms, molecules, or particles that are not chemically bonded or in any fixed proportion.


Do the ratios 2 1 and 20 10 form a proportion?

To determine if the ratios ( \frac{2}{1} ) and ( \frac{20}{10} ) form a proportion, we can compare their cross products. The cross products are ( 2 \times 10 = 20 ) and ( 1 \times 20 = 20 ). Since both cross products are equal, the ratios do form a proportion.
