When a projector is placed 10 meters from a screen as shown, it produces an image 3 meters high. if the tallest image that the projector can produce without distortion is 4.5 meters high, what is the maximum distance the projector can be placed from the screen?

To get the maximum distance, you first use the given numbers as basis.

10 meters/3 meters =x/4.5 meters

Where x = the maximum distance the projector can be placed that can produce an image 4.5 meters high

3x = 10 (4.5)

3x = 45

X= 45/3

X= 15 meters

So, the maximum distance that the projector can be placed from the screen which produces an image 4.5 meters high is 15 meters. 

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
