If a girl casts a shadow of 8 feet long and she is 5.5 feet tall how high is a building that casts a 20 foot shadow?
5.5/8 = x/20 x=5.5*20/8 = 13.75 feet
How high is a tree that casts a 40 ft shadow at the same time a 10 ft post casts a shadow which is 10 ft long?
40 ft
How high is a tree that casts a 25 ft shadow at the same time a 4 ft post casts a shadow which is 8 ft long?
50 feet
How tall would a house be that casts a 18 feet long shadow?
That all depends upon what time of day the shadow was cast. For example, at straight up noon, even a very tall building wouldn't cast much of a shadow, but at sunrise or sunset, even a tiny building might cast an 18 foot long shadow, or even longer.
A 60-foot -tall flagpole casts a 42-foot long shadowat the same time of daywhat would be the length of a shadow cast by an 18-foot-tall building?
The lenght of the shadow will be 12.6 ft
A building casts a shadow that is 348 meters long At the same time a person who is 2 meters tall casts a shadow that is 6 meters long How tall is the building?
116
If a tree 17 feet tall casts a shadow 12 feet long how high is a building that casts a shadow 19 feet long?
To cast a 19 foot shadow the building would have to be 26.91 feet tall. Each foot of building/tree casts 8.47 inches of shadow.
If a tree casts a shadow of fifteen meters long how tall is the tree?
Not enough information has been given to solve this problem such as: What is the angle of elevation?
A 10-meter high flagpole casts a shadow 6 meters long How long is the shadow of a nearby bush that is 3 meters tall?
1.8 meters. The ratio of object to shadow is 10:6. Therefore if the object is 3, the shadow is 1.8 ( 6/10x3).
A tower casts a shadow 48 m long Tom is 2 meters tall and casts a shadow 8 meters long while standing in the tower's shadow How tall is the tower?
As the question is stated, Tom is standing IN THE TOWER'S SHADOW. If so, then Tom can't cast a shadow of his own, because he is not illuminated. Let's assume the question means to imply that Tom's shadow is measured AT THE SAME TIME that the shadow of the tower is measured, and kind of NEAR the tower, so that the sun casts both shadows from the same place in the sky. If this is a valid assumption, then the tower is 12 meters tall.
A building with a height of 40 m casts a shadow that is 30 m long. A statue next to the building casts a shadow that is 6 m long. How tall is the statue?
The statue would be eight meters tall. Set up the ratio 40/x = 30/6 Multiple both sides by 6x to get 40*6 = 30x or 240 = 30x Divide both sides by 30 to get 8=x.
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.
If a girl casts a shadow of 8 feet long and she is 5.5 feet tall how high is a building that casts a 20 foot shadow?
5.5/8 = x/20 x=5.5*20/8 = 13.75 feet
A man 6ft tall casts a shadow 4ft long At the same time a building casts a shadow 20 ft long How tall is the building?
Let the height of the building be x and use the tangent ratio: x/20 = 6/4 Make x the subject of the equation: x = (6*20)/4 x = 30 ft
If a 42.9 ft tall flagpole casts a 253.1 ft long shadow then how long is the shadow that a 6.2 ft tall woman casts.?
It is approx 36.6 ft.
What is the angle of elevation of the sun with the ground when the pole 7.6 meters casts a shadow 6.1 meters long?
Required angle has a tangent of 7.6/6.1 ie 1.249. This is 51.25 degrees.
When the angle of elevation to the sun is 52 degrees a tree casts a shadow that is 9 meters long what is the height of the tree?
It is: tan(52)*9 = 11.519 meters rounded to three decimal places
