To find the height of the Gateway Arch, we can use the concept of similar triangles. The ratio of the boy's height to his shadow length is the same as the ratio of the Arch's height to its shadow length. Therefore, if the boy is 5 feet tall and casts a 1-foot shadow, the height of the Arch can be calculated as follows:
Height of Arch = (Height of boy / Length of boy's shadow) × Length of Arch's shadow = (5 feet / 1 foot) × 126 feet = 630 feet.
Thus, the Gateway Arch is 630 feet tall.

To determine the height of the tree based on the shadow length, we can use the concept of similar triangles. If the tree casts a shadow of 1 foot while a 1-foot pole also casts a shadow of 1 foot, then the height of the tree is the same as the height of the pole. Thus, the tree is also 1 foot tall.

Why does the triangle tower have no shadow?
Everything has a shadow. I think maybe because the shadow is cast upon it's self. Every object that stands in light casts a shadow, unless that object is light (produces light). A light bulb illuminated on a sunny day,has no shadow of the illumined parts. A flashlight in the sun light is a waste, a flame from a lighter on a sunny day is almost invisible. If an object casts no shadow, then, that object is light. I like to describe it as, (concerning people) a humble person casts no shadow.
