Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Since it's at the same time of the day, the ratio between the height of the person and the shadow they cast will stay the same. So the man's height to shadow ratio is 6:8 = 3:4. The son's height to shadow ratio would be the same so x:4 = 3:4 therefore his height is 3 feet.
1.) v=(l)(w)(h)
V=(9)(9)(9)
V=(81)(9)
V=729in^3
2.) (I forget if this is the real equation to this but this would give you the same answer)
V=(l)(w)(h)

V=(8)(6)(12)

V=576/2
V=288cm^3
X+142 =3x+64
subtract x from each side
142 = 2x+64
subtract 64 from each side
142-64 = 2x
78=2x
divide by 2
78/2 = x
x=39
The number is 39
