How high is a tree that casts a 63 ft shadow at the same time a 21ft pole casts a shadow which is 21 ft long?
The shadow:object ratio is 1:1 so the tree is 63 feet high.
A tree casts a shadow that is 21 feet long at the same time as a fence post casts a shadow that is 6 feet long The fence post is 4 feet tall What is the height of the tree?
Ratio of object to its shadow is the same. So if T is the height of the tree, then T/21 = 4/6 So T = 21*4/6 = 84/6 = 14 feet
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.
