Question 1
A 156 cm tall person casts a 246 cm shadow. A nearby building is 944 cm tall. How long will its shadow be?
Step-by-step:
1. Ratio of height to shadow length = 156/246 = 0.63
2. For object: Height / Shadow = 0.63
3. Shadow = Height / Ratio = 944 / 0.63 = 1488.6 cm
1. Ratio of height to shadow length = 156/246 = 0.63
2. For object: Height / Shadow = 0.63
3. Shadow = Height / Ratio = 944 / 0.63 = 1488.6 cm
