To find the length of the shadow of a 20-yard tall tree, we can use the ratio of the heights and shadows of the two trees. The ratio for the first tree is 12 yards (height) to 33 yards (shadow), or 12/33. For the 20-yard tree, let ( x ) represent the length of its shadow. Setting up the proportion, we have ( \frac{12}{33} = \frac{20}{x} ). Solving for ( x ), we find that the shadow of the 20-yard tree is approximately 55 yards long.

What is the size of a 20 yard dumpster?

When they say "20 yard" they mean its volume is 20 cubic yards.Volume = length x height x widthso...In this case you might assume a height of 2 yards and a width of 3 yards, that would give you the equation.20 = length x 2 x 3or...length = 20/6 = 3.33 yard(By the way you can use google as a calculator. If you type20/6 =in the search window it will give you a direct answer)3.33 Yards seems a little short for a length, I may have over estimated the height and width. Play around with the numbers.Try a height of 1.5 yards and a width of 2.5 yards then20 = length x 1.5 x 2.5 or length = 20/(1.5 x 2.5) =5.33 yards. That seems a little better.
