What is the longest length a shadow cast of a 10 foot tall object?
In therory, infinitely long. In practice, the shadow will fade into dispersed light.
Thomas happened to notice that at 400 PM on his uncle's farm a fence post that was 5 feet tall cast a 3 foot shadow He also noticed that a nearby tree cast a 12 foot shadow How tall is the tree?
I think this question is about similar shapes. To answer this divide the height of the tree, 5ft, by the shadow cast by it, 3 ft. This will give you the scale factor. To then find the answer, times the scale factor by the shawdow cast by the nearby tree, and will find your answer in ft. Hope this helped.
Thomas happened to notice that 4 oclock pm on his uncles farm a fence post that was 5 ft tall cast a 2 foot shadow he also noticed that a nearby tree cast a 10 foot shadow how tall is the tree?
25 feet tall This is in effect asking about similar triangles, the bases of which are the shadows and the (perpendicular) heights are the heights of the objects. Therefore, using the ratio of the two triangles (calculated from the "shadow" sides) the height of the tree can be determined. The ratio of the shadows of the post to tree is: 2ft : 10ft = 1:5 So the height of the tree is five times the height of the post. Thus: Height_of_tree = 5 x 5ft = 25 ft
When the shadow cast by a 1.2 m fence post was 1.8mthe shadow cast by a pine tree was 27.6m and by an oak tree was 45m.How tall was each tree?
There are similar triangles with the shadows as one side, the objects as another and the sun's rays as the third. The ratio of height to shadow is 1.2m : 1.8m = 1.2 : 1.8 = 2 : 3 Therefore to convert shadow length to height divide by 3 and multiply by 2, which is the same as multiplying by 2/3 → height pine = 2/3 × 27.6 m = 18.4 m → height oak = 2/3 × 45 m = 30 m
