Answer:

8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

First, draw a picture.  The pole is 22 feet tall.  Katherine is 5.5 feet tall.  She is 24 feet from the pole.  The light from the top of the pole to the tip of her shadow forms two similar right triangles.  The length of her shadow is x.

Now use similar triangles to write a proportion:

22 / (24 + x) = 5.5 / x

Cross multiply:

22x = 5.5 (24 + x)

Distribute:

22x = 132 + 5.5x

Combine like terms:

16.5x = 132

Divide:

x = 8

The shadow is 8 feet long.

amm1812

Answer:

25.3

1_ draw a triangle

the shortest side is a which will be 8(bunnies)

diagonal will be c ( what you need to find )

the last side will be b.

so the equation is a2+b2=c2 ( 2=squared)

that means..... 8x8+24x24=c

8x8=64

24x24=576

then add

576+64=640

the find square root

√640=25.2982212813

simplify to 25.3

you know your answer is correct because c is always the biggest side
