A building with a height of 40 m casts a shadow that is 30 m long. A statue next to the building casts a shadow that is 6 m long. How tall is the statue?

The statue would be eight meters tall.
Set up the ratio 40/x = 30/6
Multiple both sides by 6x to get 40*6 = 30x or 240 = 30x
Divide both sides by 30 to get 8=x.

A flagpole casts a ten meter shadow at the same time as a six meter statue beside it casts a two meter shadow What is the height of the flagpole?
The statue is 6/2 = 3 times the length of its shadow. The flagpole is 3 times its shadow ie the flagpole is 3*10 = 30 metres.

An office building 55ft tall casts a shadow 30ft long How tall is a person standing nearby who casts a shadow of 3 ft long?
From the given information, we see that the building and its shadow form a right triangle with base 30 ft and height 55 ft.Also, the person and his/her shadow form another similar triangle with base 3 ft and height x ft.Since both triangles are similar, we have:x/55 = 3/30 orx/55 = 1/10 cross multiply10x = 55 divide by 10 to both sidesx = 5.5Thus the person is 5.5 inches tall.

A pole that is 2.6m tall casts a shadow that is 1.51m long At the same time a nearby building casts a shadow that is 42.25m long round your answer to the nearest meter How tall is the building?
Let x = the height of the building. So we have, x/2.6 = 42.25/1.51 x = (2.6)(42.25)/1.51 x =72.75 Thus, the building is 72.75 meter tall.
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.)
