The ratio of object to shadow is 3 ft object/1.5 ft shadow.
x ft object = 18.65 ft shadow
So you would multiply 18.65 by 1.5/3, which equals 9.325ft.
9514 1404 393
Answer:
50 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The side lengths in a 30-60-90 triangle have the ratios 1 : √3 : 2. The longest side is 2 times the length of the shortest side.
In this geometry, that means the length of the escalator is 2 times its height, so is ...
x = 2(25 ft)
x = 50 ft . . . . . distance a person travels
