Answer:

height of vertical post = 6ft

its shadow = 20 in

For all shadows cast at the same time, the ratio of the height of a shadow-casting structure to the length of its shadow is the same. (Assuming, of course, that it's the sun casting the shadows.)

So the ratio is  

4 feet / 12 inches = 4 feet / 1 foot = 4/1 = 4,

and if h is the height of the cell tower,

h/122 feet = 4

h = 4 x 122 feet = 488 feet. <---------------- Final answer

Hope I helped,

Answer:

Area of the other polygon = 4 in.²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the bigger polygon : Area of the smaller polygon = square of the side length of the bigger polygon : square of the corresponding side length of the smaller polygon

Let "x" represent the area of the smaller polygon

Thus, we have:

100/x = 20²/4²

100/x = 400/16

100/x = 25

Cross multiply

25x = 100

Divide both sides by 25

25x/25 = 100/25

x = 4

Area of the other polygon = 4 in.²
