If the boy is 3 feet tall and his shadow is 7 feet long, that is a dilation (increases in size) so you would divide 3 by 7 to get your rate of dilation. 3/7 is about 0.428. So if you want to know how tall the man is who casts a 14 feet long shadow is, you’d have to multiply 14 by .428 which you give you 5.992 which is about 6 feet tall.

Hope this helps

Answer:

The cellphone towers height is 1020 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved using proportions, by a rule of three.

A 10-ft post casts a 14-inch shadow.

Each feet has 12 inches, which means that a post with 10 feet will cast a 14/12 = 1.167 ft shadow. How tall is the cell-phone tower with a 119-feet shadow?

10 feet post - 1.167 ft shadow

x feet tower - 119 feet shadow

Applying cross multiplication:

$1.167x = 10*119$

$x = \frac{1190}{1.167}$

$x = 1020$

The cellphone towers height is 1020 ft.
