Question

The height of a lighthouse in Pensacola, Florida, is 150 feet. Standing next to the statue, Natalie casts a 1.1-foot shadow. She is 5.5 feet tall. How long would the shadow of the lighthouse be?

Answer 1

30 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

• Since Natalie is standing right next to the Penthouse, we can establish the ration between her height and the shadow she casts, which is;

           1.1 : 5.5

• The two are related by a factor of 1/5

• We can use this factor to establish the shadow cast by the penthouse;

       1/5 * 150

        = 30
