Answer:
The answer to your question is 12.55 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Adam Cara
height = 159 cm height = 140 cm
shadow = 105 cm shadow = x
Process
1.- To solve this problem use the Thales' theorem
Cara's shadow / Cara's height = Adam's shadow / Adam's height
- Substitution
x / 140 = 105 / 159
-Solve for x
x = 105 (140) / 159
-Simplification
x = 14700 / 159
x = 92.45 cm
Cara's shadow is 92.45 cm long.
2.- If both shadows are in line, then Cara must walk forward
105 - 92.45 cm
12.55 cm
