Clarissa (the surveyor from our book) is at home and needs to figure out how tall her wall is in order to replace one of the lights. She places the mirror on the ground 27 feet from the wall. Clarissa is 9 feet from the mirror, and Clarissa's eyes are 6 feet from the ground. ​

Answer:

The height of the wall is 18 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

I have taken a look at the question, and will label the diagram accordingly. Check the attachment.

We are asked to calculate the height of the wall. Well, the incidence ray is equal to the reflected ray, so therefore by AA we have similar triangles. Setting up a proportion to determine the height of the wall:

9/6 = 27/x [where x = height of the wall]

x = 27*6/9 = 18 ft.
