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,

Well i did 120/15 and got 8 so he runs a mile every 8 minutes about. so you do 8 x 6 because he has to run 6 miles and bam 48 it takes him 48 minutes to run 6 miles. he runs about (.125) miles an hour ( i was assuming you meant 15 miles in 120 minutes)
