Answer:
here's the solution :-
1.) =》the base of the larger triangle is the length of shadow formed by cactus .
so, length of cactus is : 33 feet.
2.) now, jn the smaller triangle formed by liam and it's shadow : -
=》
since both triangle form 90° the bases of both the larger and smaller triangles are parallel , so the base angles of larger triangle = corresponding base angles of the smaller triangle
hence, the both triangles are similar
( by A.A postulate )
now since the both triangles are similar, the the sides will be proportional ,
=》
=》
=》
=》
so, length of the cactus = x = 22 feet
