Answer:
122.6 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Shadow cast by the man = 3.1 m
Height of the man = 1.9 m
Shadow cast by the lighthouse = 200 m
Height of the lighthouse = x
If two shapes are similar, the ratio of their corresponding sides would be equal.
Therefore,
x/1.9 = 200/3.1
Multiply both sides by 1.9
x = (200*1.9)/3.1
x = 122.6 m (nearest tenth)
The lighthouse is 122.6 m tall
