A 40ft tall mounument casts a shadow that just reaches the base of a 4ft tall parking meter if the parking meter's shadow is 6.5 ft long how far apart are the monument and the meter?
The shadow of the 4 foot parking meter's shadow is 6.5. The shadow of the 40 foot tall monument has to be 65 (4/6.5 = 40/x so x is 65) a2+b2=c2 402+b2=652 1600 + b2 = 4225 b2 = 2625 b = about 51.2347 feet apart
If a tree cast shadow that measures 5 millimeters and a meter stick cast a shadow that measures 0.4 millimeters how tall is the tree?
Using ratios of height : shadow length, and letting t be the height of the tree t : 5 = 100 : 0.4 we cross multiply 0.4 x t = 5 x 100 0.4t = 500 Divide both sides by 0.4 t=1250 mm or 12.5 cm

A pole that is 2.6m tall casts a shadow that is 1.51m long At the same time a nearby building casts a shadow that is 42.25m long round your answer to the nearest meter How tall is the building?
Let x = the height of the building. So we have, x/2.6 = 42.25/1.51 x = (2.6)(42.25)/1.51 x =72.75 Thus, the building is 72.75 meter tall.
