Step-by-step explanation:
an object and its shadow create a right-angled triangle.
2 objects and their shadows create 2 similar right-angled triangles.
that means the angles are the same, and the side lengths of one triangle all correlate with the corresponding side lengths of the other triangle via the same factor.
so,
42 × f = 6
f = 6/42 = 1/7
the length of Joel's shadow is then
20 × f = 20 × 1/7 = 2.857142857... ft
Hi there! :)

To solve, we can simply divide and multiply by 100 to solve for the percentage:
5 / 25 = 5 ÷ 25 = 1/5 or 0.20
Multiply the decimal by 100 to solve for the percentage:
0.20 × 100 = 20%
You have the formula already, just plug in 30 for s (speed) and solve for d (distance).
The answer is 1)B 2)C 3)F
