Answer:
We have two similar triangles; triangle ABC and triangle DBE
We can work out the scale factor of the two triangles by checking the corresponding lines
We have line EB correspond to line CB
The scale factor is EB ÷ CB = 30 ÷ 10 = 3
Line EB is 3 times longer than line CB
So, line DE is 3 times longer than line AC
The street light is the line DE and the person standing is the line AC
So, the street light is 3 times taller than the person standing.
