You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi there,
Express the man's height as a percentage of the height of the tree.
1.75/8.75 x 100
= 20%
The tree casts a shadow of length 6m
8.75/6
What is the length of the man's shadow?
8.75/6 = 1.75/x (x being the man's shadow length)
Cross multiply
6(1.75) = x(8.75)
x = 6(1.75)/8.75
x = 1.2m
The man's shadow will be 1.2m long.
Hope this helps :-)
