Answer:

6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{height of object}{length of shadow}

Let the hight of the soldier be x

\frac{24}{9} = \frac{x}{2.25}

x = (24×2.25)/9 = 6ft

A swimming pool was 4 meters wide with surface area of 16 square meters.What is the length of the pool?
Agata [3.3K]

Because we're treating the swimming pool as a standard rectangle, rather than a three dimensional shape, we can use the formula L * W = A to calculate the length of the pool.

Length * Width = Area

We've established two key bits of information, and with them we can solve for the final piece.

Length * 4 = 16

4l = 16

Divide both sides by 4.

l = 4

<h3>The length of the pool is 4 meters.</h3>
