Problema Solution
An object 7.5 feet tall casts a shadow that is 22.5 feet long. How long in feet would the shadow be for an object which is 18.3 feet tall?
Answer provided by our tutors
We can expect each objects shadow to be proportional to its height. Therefore, we can write:
7.5/22.5=18.3/n
where 'n' is the height that we are trying to find. Using Algebrator to solve for 'n', we get:
n=54.90 feet
