Set up and solve an equation of ratios.  Comparing shadow lengths, we get 100/6; comparing heights, we get x/8.  Set these two ratios equal to one another and solve the resulting equation for x:

100       x
----- = ------      Then 6x=800, and x = 800 feet^2 over 6 feet.  Your answer 
   6        8

must have the unit of measurement "ft."

-f=-100<br> solve for f<br> f=<br> wold the answer be 1
marshall27 [118]
1 is incorrect. to solve for f, you have to get it alone, and right now you have a negative sign in your way.

you can eliminate the negative by dividing both sides by -1:

-f = -100

divide by -1 to cancel out the - in front of f

f = 100
