The portion of the fabric that is laying across the ground is 2 meters. The portion of the fabric from the ground to the highest point (along the fabric's edge) is 1.5 meters, half of that is 0.75 meters and this is the length of the shadow. We can see this by forming a 30-60-90 triangle. The hypotenuse is 1.5 meters, the short leg is 0.75 meters. The short leg is always half of the hypotenuse of any 30-60-90 triangle, and the short leg is opposite the 30 degree angle.
So this shadow has length of 2 meters and 0.75 meters, making its area be 0.75*2 = 1.5 square meters when the sun is directly overhead at 12 noon
They didn't make it easy. Grid lines are apparently 3 apart, but the offered coordinates are all multiples of 4. It appears the only point that is in the doubly-shaded area is ...
All you have to do is make 1 into a fraction 4/4+1/4 makes the 8 servings find and equivilent fraction so 8/8+2/8= 8 servings half it 4/8+1/8= 4 servings so half a cup and an eighth of a cup or 5/8 of a cup hope this helped you have a great day!!
