Answer:
4 ft/sec
Explanation:
Given:
16 ft = height of a street light on top of a pole
6 ft = height of a woman
4 ft/s = speed that the woman is walking away from the pole along a straight path
50 ft = distance of woman from the pole at the specific time they want to know the speed of the tip of the man's shadow.
solution:
A woman 6 ft tall walks away from the pole with a speed of 4 ft/sec along a straight path. if we let t be the time in seconds and x be the distance from the pole to the woman in ft then we are given that dx/dt=4 ft/sec
