If a 30 foot flagpole casts a 12 foot shadow how tall is a mailbox casting a 18 inch shadow?
First find the angle of elevation by using the tangent ratio formula:tangent = opposite (the flagpole)/adjacent (the shadow)tangent = 30/12 = 68.19859051 degreesThen rearrange the formula to find the height of the mailbox:height of mailbox = 18*tangent 68.19859051 = 44.99999......Therefore: height of mailbox = 45 inches to the nearest inch.Or,Since we have two similar right triangles whose legs are the 30 feet flagpole and its 12 feet shadow, the length x of mailbox and its 18 inches shadow, we have:18 in/x = 12 ft/30 ft (cross multiply)(12)(x) = (30)(18 in)12x = 540 in (divide by 12 to both sides)x = 45 in
