A 8-foot tall stop sign creates a shadow that is 2 feet long. At the same time, a utility pole creates a shadow that is 9 feet l
ong. How tall, in feet, is the utility pole?
1 answer:
Answer: 36 feet
==================================================
Work Shown:
(sign height)/(sign shadow) = (pole height)/(pole shadow)
8/2 = x/9
8*9 = 2*x ... cross multiply
72 = 2x
2x = 72
x = 72/2 ... divide both sides by 2
x = 36
The utility pole is 36 feet tall.
