How high is a tree that casts a 37 ft shadow at the same time a 4foot pole casts a 12 foot shadow?
It works out as 12 feet and 4 inches in height
When a tree cast a 20 foot shadow a man 6 feet tall casts a 3 foot shadow how tall is the tree?
The man is twice as high as his shadow. Therefore, the tree must also be twice as high as its shadow, which would make the tree 40 feet tall.
How high is a tree that casts a 24 ft shadow at the same time a 12 ft post casts a shadow which is 12 ft long?
As the sun is far enough away, the rays of light are effectively parallel. This produces similar triangles with the ratio of sides the same in each case. As the shadow of the post is 12 ft and the shadow of the tree is 24 ft, the sides of the triangle of the tree are double that of the post. Assuming the post is parallel to the tree, the tree's height is twice the height of the post → tree = 12 ft × 2 = 24ft high.
A scale model of a building is 2.3-feet high The ratio of the height of the model to the height of the building is 1156 How tall is the building in feet?
-1153.7
How many feet is a 14 story building?
It depends on construction; it is around 12 feet per story, typically, so a 14 story building would be 14 x 12 = 168 feet high
If a girl casts a shadow of 8 feet long and she is 5.5 feet tall how high is a building that casts a 20 foot shadow?
5.5/8 = x/20 x=5.5*20/8 = 13.75 feet

15 feet high
How high is a tree that casts a 37 ft shadow at the same time a 4foot pole casts a 12 foot shadow?
It works out as 12 feet and 4 inches in height
How high is a tree that casts a 63 ft shadow at the same time a 21ft pole casts a shadow which is 21 ft long?
The shadow:object ratio is 1:1 so the tree is 63 feet high.
How high is a tree that casts a 33 ft shadow at the same time a 5 ft pole casts a shadow which is 12 ft long?
(12 / 5) × 33 = 79.2 feet high Divide the pole shadow by the pole height: (12 / 5) = 2.4 feet Times the 2.4 by the tree shadow of 33 feet: 2.4 x 33 = 79.2
A tree is twice as high as the length of the shadow it casts The distance from the tip of tree to the tip of the shadow is 8 feet What is the length of the shadow that the tree casts?
We can not tell because we do not know how straight the tree is or if the ground is perpendicular or level.
How high is a tree that casts a 21 foot shadow at the same time a 6.5 foot man cast a 5 foot shadow?
27.3 feet
How high is a tree that cast a 24-foot shadow at the same time a 8-foot pole casts a shadow which is 11-foot long?
17.45 feet.
When a tree cast a 20 foot shadow a man 6 feet tall casts a 3 foot shadow how tall is the tree?
The man is twice as high as his shadow. Therefore, the tree must also be twice as high as its shadow, which would make the tree 40 feet tall.
The light from a lamppost casts a shadow of a man who is standing 10 feet away from the lamppost. The man's shadow is 5 feet long. The angle of elevation from the tip of the shadow to the lamp is 50 d?
The man is 5.96 feet tall and the lamp is 17.88 feet high.
A building casts a 7.5m shadow at the same time that a 40m pole casts a shadow of 3m. How high is the building?
Ratio of shadows = 3m:7.5m :: 1:2.5 So, the ratio of the heights (in the same order) is 1:2.5 ie Ht(Pole):Ht(Building) = 40m:Ht(Building) = 1:2.5 So Ht(Building) = 2.5*40m = 100 metres
