Plzz help
OpenStudy (welshfella):
compare your equation with the standard one:
(x - a)^ + (y - b)^2 = r^2
where r is the radius
OpenStudy (welshfella):
so r^2 = ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So the answer is 2?
OpenStudy (welshfella):
sorry that is r^2 = 16
so r = ?

8
OpenStudy (welshfella):
No r^2 means r * r
so you need the square root of 16
OpenStudy (welshfella):
what number multiplied by itself gives 16?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
The answer is 4
OpenStudy (welshfella):
right

The Eastern Point Lighthouse in Gloucester, Massachusetts was established in 1832 to help fishermen into the harbor. It is still used today by the Coast Guard. A fisherman along the shore wanted to know how tall it was. He is 6 ft. tall and he measures his shadow to be 1.7 ft. The lighthouse casts a shadow of 10.2 ft., approximately how tall is the Eastern Point Lighthouse?
