Question

An 18 foot tall tree casts a shadow of 11 feet. A man casts a shadow of 4 feet assuming these are similar triangles, how tall is the man ?

Answer 1

Answer:

height of the man is ≈ 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

shadow of the man/ shadow of the tree = height of the man/ height of the tree

4/11 = x/18                   cross multiply

11x = 4(18)

11x = 72

  x = 6.5
