Question

A water tower casts a 100-foot shadow. At the same time, an 8-foot stri
sign casts a shadow of 6 feet. What is the height of the towers?

Answer 1

Set up ratios of height / shadow length:

8/6 = x/100

Cross multiply

6x = 800

Divide both sides by 6

X = 133.33 feet

The tower is 133.3 feet
