A 10-meter high flagpole casts a shadow 6 meters long How long is the shadow of a nearby bush that is 3 meters tall?
1.8 meters. The ratio of object to shadow is 10:6. Therefore if the object is 3, the shadow is 1.8 ( 6/10x3).
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.
