Question 1

A person walks from a point where his shadow length is measured to another point. The distances from a lamp post are 31 m and 77 m respectively. How far did he walk?
Step-by-step:
1. First position: distance from pole = 31 m
2. Second position: distance from pole = 77 m
3. Distance between positions = 77 - 31 = 46 m

Question 2

A 177 cm tall person casts a 111 cm shadow. A nearby building is 925 cm tall. How long will its shadow be?
Step-by-step:
1. Ratio of height to shadow length = 177/111 = 1.59
2. For object: Height / Shadow = 1.59
3. Shadow = Height / Ratio = 925 / 1.59 = 580.1 cm

Question 3

A 155 cm tall person casts a 283 cm shadow. A building casts a 539 cm shadow at the same time. How tall is the building?
Step-by-step:
1. Ratio of shadow to height = 283/155 = 1.83
2. For object: Shadow / Height = 1.83
3. Height = Shadow / Ratio = 539 / 1.83 = 295.2 cm

Question 4

A 168 cm tall person casts a 178 cm shadow. A building casts a 339 cm shadow at the same time. How tall is the building?
Step-by-step:
1. Ratio of shadow to height = 178/168 = 1.06
2. For object: Shadow / Height = 1.06
3. Height = Shadow / Ratio = 339 / 1.06 = 320.0 cm

Question 5

A 159 cm tall person casts a 263 cm shadow. A building casts a 535 cm shadow at the same time. How tall is the building?
Step-by-step:
1. Ratio of shadow to height = 263/159 = 1.65
2. For object: Shadow / Height = 1.65
3. Height = Shadow / Ratio = 535 / 1.65 = 323.4 cm

Question 6

A person walks from a point where his shadow length is measured to another point. The distances from a lamp post are 43 m and 73 m respectively. How far did he walk?
Step-by-step:
1. First position: distance from pole = 43 m
2. Second position: distance from pole = 73 m
3. Distance between positions = 73 - 43 = 30 m

Question 7

A person walks from a point where his shadow length is measured to another point. The distances from a lamp post are 22 m and 87 m respectively. How far did he walk?
Step-by-step:
1. First position: distance from pole = 22 m
2. Second position: distance from pole = 87 m
3. Distance between positions = 87 - 22 = 65 m

Question 8

A 169 cm tall person casts a 218 cm shadow. A nearby building is 712 cm tall. How long will its shadow be?
Step-by-step:
1. Ratio of height to shadow length = 169/218 = 0.78
2. For object: Height / Shadow = 0.78
3. Shadow = Height / Ratio = 712 / 0.78 = 918.4 cm

Question 9

A 166 cm tall person casts a 181 cm shadow. A nearby building is 985 cm tall. How long will its shadow be?
Step-by-step:
1. Ratio of height to shadow length = 166/181 = 0.92
2. For object: Height / Shadow = 0.92
3. Shadow = Height / Ratio = 985 / 0.92 = 1074.0 cm

Question 10

A person walks from a point where his shadow length is measured to another point. The distances from a lamp post are 26 m and 67 m respectively. How far did he walk?
Step-by-step:
1. First position: distance from pole = 26 m
2. Second position: distance from pole = 67 m
3. Distance between positions = 67 - 26 = 41 m

Question 11

A 158 cm tall person casts a 269 cm shadow. A building casts a 328 cm shadow at the same time. How tall is the building?
Step-by-step:
1. Ratio of shadow to height = 269/158 = 1.70
2. For object: Shadow / Height = 1.70
3. Height = Shadow / Ratio = 328 / 1.70 = 192.7 cm

Question 12

A person walks from a point where his shadow length is measured to another point. The distances from a lamp post are 27 m and 66 m respectively. How far did he walk?
Step-by-step:
