A 200 foot building casts a shadow 18 feet long, how long of a shadow does a 6 foot tall man cast

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

This is a proportional problem so you have 200/18 = 6/x, solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find the ratio of the wall to the man and use that number to multiply the wall's shadow length to get the man's shadow length. IOW: man/wall * wall_shadow = man_shadow.
