Given that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection, we can state tha the angle formed by the eyes of Jason with the mirror is equal to the angle formeb by the top of the three with the same mirror.

Then, you can write this similarity equation:

[height of the eyes of Jason] / [distance from the poistion of Jason to the image on the mirror] = [height of the tree / distance from the mirror to the base of the tree]

6feet / 8feet = x/40feet

x = 40feet *[6/8] = 30 feet.

Answer: 30 feet.

contractor wishes to build 9 houses, each different in design. In how many ways can he place these houses on a street if 6 lots
Tju [1.3M]

The houses can be placed in 362,880 ways.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The 9 houses are each in different design.

The each lot can place any of the 9 houses.

  • The 1st lot can place anyone house of all the 9 houses.
  • The 2nd lot can place one of remaining 8 houses.
  • The 3rd lot can place one of remaining 7 houses.

Similarly, the process gets repeated until the last house is placed on a lot.

<u>From the above steps, it can be determined that :</u>

The number of ways to place the 9 houses in 9 lots = 9!

⇒ 9×8×7×6×5×4×3×2×1

⇒ 362880 ways.

Therefore, the houses can be placed in 362880 ways.
