Thomas happened to notice that like at 4 oclock pm on his unlces farm a fence post that was 5 ft tall cast a 2 foot shadow he also noticed that a nearby tree cast a 10 foot shadow how tall is the tree?
The ratio of the shadow cast to the height of an object will be the same at the same time of day. For the fence post, the height of the post is 2.5 times the length of the shadow ( 5 ft / 2 ft = 2.5 ) The tree has a 10 foot shadow, so using the same ratio for the fence post: 10 ft * 2.5 = 25 feet. The tree is 25 feet tall

How tall is a flag pole that casts an 18 ft shadow at the same time that a 6 ft man casts a 4 ft shadow?
We can solve this problem using a ratio. Since a 6 foot man casts a 4 foot shadow we can write this ratio as 6:4. If we reduce this ratio we get 3:2. Now we're stating that for every 3 feet of height, the shadow cast will be 2 feet.Now we can work our problem out using a small table:3 feet of flag pole = 2 feet of shadow6 feet of flag pole = 4 feet of shadow9 feet of flag pole = 6 feet of shadow12 feet of flag pole = 8 feet of shadow15 feet of flag pole = 10 feet of shadow18 feet of flag pole = 12 feet of shadowTherefore an 18 foot flag pole will cast a 12 foot shadow at the same time that a 6 foot man casts a 4 foot shadow.
A vertical pole 5 feet long casts a shadow of 2 feet if at the same time a nearby tree casts a shadow of 10 feet how tall is the tree?
The tree is 25 feet tall. A 5 foot pole cast a 2 foot shadow. This means that the sun angle causes the shadow to be 2/5 the length of the object casting it. The tree's shadow is 10 feet tall. Multiply 10 feet by 5/2 (inverting the fraction because we're going the other way) and we get 25 feet.

How long a shadow would a 140 foot building cast if a 6 foot person cast a 10 foot shadow?
140*10/6 = 233.33... ft or 233 ft 4 inches. Except at that distance, the end of the shadow would be too diffuse to measure accurately.
How tall is a child with a 10 foot shadow?
It depends what time of day it is.
What is the height of a flagpole if a person 5 feet tall casts a 10 foot shadow at the same time that the flagpole casts a 40 foot shadow?
The flag pole would be 20 feet. (You can see that the shadows are twice as long.) At a given time of the day, the length of a shadow cast by any object will have the same relationship to its actual height as all other objects. Here the ratio is 5/10 = x/40 and multiplying both sides by 40, 20 = x.
If a tree 10 feet tall casts a shadow 5 feet long how long is the shadow cast by a pole 12 feet tall?
