Algebra.Com's Answer #332154 by richard1234(7193) You can put this solution on YOUR website! Don't expect tutors on algebra.com to do your entire project for you by going outside and measuring their height, shadow, etc. Even then, my data will be different than yours. Just record the first three data elements, then use a ratio to estimate the height of the object, and answer the questions. Hint: for #4, what would your results look like if you took the measurements at noon vs. sunrise or sunset? \n" ); document.write( " |
