To do this, multiply 9 by 18. This will show you how much they all weigh if there are 18 and each is 9 pounds.
The answer is 162.
Hope this helps!
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
Can't read it it's blurry. Sorry.
