488 cm
The tree is 33 feet tall. Use ratios to solve this equation. 6/4 = n/22 6 x 22 = 4n 4n = 132 n = 33
It is approx 36.6 ft.
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.
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.
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

1. How high is a flagpole that casts a shadow of 45 ft at the same time a woman 5.5 ft tall casts a shadow 10 ft?
121.3yd
25 feet tall
60 inches, or 5 feet.
It is 90 feet in height
15 feet high
21 ft how is the equation to give you this result
13ft
Measure the tree with the meter stick.
The tree is 33 feet tall. Use ratios to solve this equation. 6/4 = n/22 6 x 22 = 4n 4n = 132 n = 33
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.)
