Jacob and Roman are standing next to each other. Jacob, who is 180 cm tall, has a shadow that is 45 cm long. If Roman is 152 cm tall, approximately how long is his shadow? a) 7 cm b) 17 cm c) 28 cm d) 38 cm

d)38cm Expl: As the two of them are standing next to each other, the angle subtended by the light source is same for both of them.Hence their heights are proportional to their shadows. Hence the lenght of Roman's shadow = (152x45)/180=38
