Question

At a certain time of day, a 6 foot tall man has a 8 foot shadow. If a tree is 25 feet tall, what is the length of the tree’s shadow? (Round to the nearest hundredth)

Answer 1

Set as equivalent proportions.
Item/Shadow = item/shadom

Start with man as item and set equalt to tree as item and x for unknown.

6/8 = 25/x

Now you can cross multiply to solve.

6x=200 and solve for x to finish.

Answer 2

so 33. 3?
