Write a proportion to determine the missing measureA lighthouse casts a 72-yard shadow at the same time as a 32-foot tall billboard casts a 19-foot shadowWhat is the height of the lighthouse?
They both have the same tangent ratio so let the height of the lighthouse be x and change all units into feet: x/216 = 32/19 Multiply both sides by 216: x = 6912/19 x = 363.7894737 feet

What year was the first fire island lighthouse built?
According to the Fire Island Lighthouse Preservation Society's web site: The first lighthouse built on Fire Island was completed in 1826. It was a 74-foot high, cream colored, octagonal pyramid made of Connecticut River blue split stone. The tower was built at the end of the island, adjacent to the inlet. This tower was not effective due to its lack of height. It was taken down and the stone was reused to build the terrace for the present lighthouse. Today a circular ring of bricks and stone are all that remain of the original lighthouse.

If A lighthouse casts a 128 foot shadow a nearby lamppost measures 5' 3 casts an 8 foot shadow Write a proportion that can be used to determine the height of the lighthouse?
To solve this you need to put 5.3 over 8 to represent the first lamp post then you need to put x over 128, so you can find the height of the lamp post. The lamp post is 84 feet 8 inches.
A lighthouse that is 125 feet tall casts a 140- foot shadow on the surface of the water what is the distance from the top of the lighthouse to the top of the shadow?
Assuming that the lighthouse is perpendicular to the ground (it does not lean at all), the lighthouse and the ground will form a right angle (90 degrees). For right triangles, when you know the length of two sides of the triangle, you can use the pythagorean theorem to calculate the third side. Pythagorean Theorem = a2 + b2 = c2 Where a and b represent the sides of the triangle adjacent to the right angle (in this case the height of the lighthouse and the length of the shadow) and c represents the hypotenuse (in this case the distance from the top of the lighthouse to the top of the shadow). 1252 + 1402 = c2 15625 + 19600 = c2 35225 = c2 187.68 = c (Take the square root of both sides to get c by itself) The distance from the top of the lighthouse to the top of the shadow is about 187.7 feet.
What materials did they use to build Oak Island lighthouse?
