Question

A man that is 6 feet tall casts a shadow 5 feet long. At the same time, a lamppost beside the man casts a shadow 25 feet long. How tall is the lamppost?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is:  L = 30 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

man = 6 ft

man shadow = 5 ft

lamppost shadow = 25 ft

lamppost height = ? = L

Process

                   $\frac{6}{5} = \frac{L}{25}$

                    $L = \frac{6 x 25}{5}$

                    $L = \frac{150}{5}$

                           L = 30 ft
