I have no idea how to go about this question on my geometry homework! Can someone help me?
The two triangles shown are similar triangles. Numerically, the ratio computed by dividing the length of any side of tower triangle by the length of the corresponding side of the walking stick (similar) triangle will be the same value. Therefore, when the length of the tower shadow is divided by the length of the walking stick shadow, that ratio will be the exactly same as the tower height divided by the walking stick height. (length of tower shadow)/(length of walking stick shadow) = (tower's height)/(walking stick height) tower's height = {(length of tower shadow)/(length of walking stick shadow)}*(walking stick height)
When is our height shorter to our shadow?
When the sun is low down, the shadow is longer. If the sun is high up the shadow is shorter.
What is the height of a building that cast a 105' shadow when a 6' man casts a 14' shadow?
Height of building/105 = 6/14 Multiply both sides by 105: Height = 630/14 Height = 45 feet
How can you calculate height of a pyramid by measuring the length of its shadow?
By means of trigonometry if you know the angle of elevation or by comparing it with a nearby object if you know its height and shadow length.
What will be the height of the shadow cast by a person standing near a 20 ft light post.The height of the person is 6 ftThe distance between man and pole is 10 ft?
It is zero: 0cm; 0mm A shadow has no height: length yes, but height no
A tree cast a 9 ft shadow at the same time that the a person 6ft tall cast a 4 ft shadow what is the height if the tree?
To find the height of the tree, we can set up a proportion using the similar triangles formed by the tree and its shadow, and the person and their shadow. The ratio of the height of the tree to its shadow is the same as the ratio of the height of the person to their shadow. This gives us (height of tree)/(9 ft) = (6 ft)/(4 ft). Solving for the height of the tree, we get height of tree = (9 ft * 6 ft) / 4 ft = 13.5 ft.

Is your shadow always the same height?
NO.
Describe three factors that determine the size of a shadow and explain how each one cam make the shadow larger or smaller?
The height of the object casting the shadow, the height of the sun in the sky, what angle you are at when looking at the shadow.

Candace wants to find the height of a local lighthouse Since she knows something about similar triangles she decides to stand in a location where the tip of her shadow and the tip of the lighthouse?
21.6 meters
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.
