Algebra.Com's Answer #597016 by Alan3354(69443) You can put this solution on YOUR website! A 12 metre pole casts a shadow 10 metres long. If measurements are taken at the same time:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "i) How tall is a tree, if its shadow is 25.5 metres long? \n" ); document.write( "The ratio is the same. \n" ); document.write( "height/shadow = 12/10 \n" ); document.write( "--------- \n" ); document.write( "12/10 = h/25.5 \n" ); document.write( "10h = 306 \n" ); document.write( "h = 30.6 m \n" ); document.write( "================= \n" ); document.write( "ii) How long is a shadow, if the building is 110 metres high? \n" ); document.write( "12/10 = 110/s \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
