Question 299378: A 20-foot monument casts a shadow 32- feet long. How long of a shadow would a 6- foot man cast at the same time? Answer by unlockmath(1688) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hello,
This we can set up as a proportion as follows:
20/32=6/x (x will represent the shadow of the man)Following me?
Cross multiply to get:
20x=192 Divide by 20 to get:
x=9.6 feet
Make sense?
