The height of the church steeple is 42 feet

<h3>How to determine how high, in feet, is the church steeple?</h3>

The given parameters are

Height of the man = 6 feet

Length of the man's shadow = 4 feet

Length of the shadow of the church steeple = 28 feet

To determine how high, in feet, is the church steeple, we use the following equivalent ratio:

Height of the man : Length of the man's shadow = Height of the church steeple: Length of the shadow of the church steeple

Substitute the known values in the above equation

6 feet : 4 feet = Height of the church steeple : 28 feet

Express the above equation as a fraction

6 feet/4 feet = Height of the church steeple/28 feet

Multiply both sides of the above equation by 28 feet

28 feet * 6 feet/4 feet = Height of the church steeple/28 feet * 28 feet

This gives

28 feet * 6 feet/4 feet = Height of the church steeple

Evaluate the product in the above equation

168 feet/4 = Height of the church steeple

Evaluate the quotient in the above equation

42 feet = Height of the church steeple

Rewrite as:

Height of the church steeple = 42 feet

Hence, the height of the church steeple is 42 feet

Ok so you need to multiply the length, width, and height together for each one.
Bill: 8 x 20 x 6 = 960
Martin: 4 x 15 x 16 = 960
So Bill is right, they both have the same volume.
