An object 9.6 feet tall casts a shadow that is 28.8 feet long.
\n" ); document.write( " How long in feet would the shadow be for an object which is 19.5 feet tall?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let s = the length of the shadow of a 19.6 ft object
\n" ); document.write( "The relationship of an object to it's shadow is the same, therefore:
\n" ); document.write( "\"s%2F19.5\" = \"28.8%2F9.6\"
\n" ); document.write( "cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( "9.6s = 19.5*28.8
\n" ); document.write( "9.6s = 561.6
\n" ); document.write( "s = 561.6/9.6
\n" ); document.write( "s = 58.5 ft \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
