Now we {{CMD_278}}find equations{{CMD_279}} that relate the variables {{MATH_280}} and {{MATH_281}}. We use the fact that we
have similar triangles to write:
{{ENV_282}}
Since {{MATH_283}} and {{MATH_284}} are both functions of time, we
{{CMD_285}}differentiate{{CMD_286}} both sides of the equation above. We use
implicit differentiation and write
{{MATH_287}}
At this point we {{CMD_288}}evaluate{{CMD_289}} all the quantities at time when {{MATH_290}} ft
{{MATH_291}}
Now we {{CMD_292}}solve{{CMD_293}} for {{MATH_294}} and get that
{{MATH_295}}, when {{MATH_296}} ft.
Therefore, the shadow is growing
at a rate of {{MATH_297}} ft/s when the person is {{MATH_298}} ft from the lamp.{{CMD_299}}
