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 tree casts a shadow that is 20 feet long Frank is 6 feet tall and while standing next to the tree he casts a shadow that is 4 feet long How tall is the tree?

The ratios are in the same proportion, so all you need to really figure out is what is in the same ratio to 20 as 6 is to 4.


What is the formula used in geometry for a person 122 cm tall casts a 37cm shadow at the same time a tree casts a 148cm shadow How tall is the tree?

t/148 = 122/37 , where t is the height of the tree.Cross multiplying gives 37 x t = 148 x 122ie 37t = 18056 so the tree is 488 cm tall ie 4.88 metres

How tall is a man that casts a shadow at the same time a 40 ft building casts a 60 ft shadow?

If the building casts a shadow, then the sun is out, and any man who is not standing in theshadow of the building will cast a shadow of his own, no matter how short or tall he may be.(If you had told us the length of the man's shadow, it would have been a completely differentquestion, and we could have had a completely different answer to offer in response.)
