Candice wants to know how tall the streetlamps are in her neighborhood. On a foggy evening, she measures 30 feet from a streetlamp down a flat sidewalk. She
sets up a laser pointer on the ground so that its beam hits the top of the light. Then she has her father, who is 6 feet, 2 inches tall, stand between the light and the
laser pointer. When he is 121 inches away from the laser, the beam just barely touches his head. To the nearest inch, how tall is the streetlamp? Assume that the
streetlamp and the man are both standing perpendicular to the ground.
