Given :
A 136 foot tall cell phone tower casts a 79.9 foot shadow.
To Find :
The shadow length for a nearby 40 foot telephone pole .
Solution :
We know , the ratio of height and shadow , will be same for every object .
Let , length of shadow of pole is x .
So ,
Therefore , the length of shadow of tower is 23.5 foot .
Hence , this is the required solution .
The best way to do this is to make up values for the sides.
Say the lengths of square B's sides are each 4 cm. That means A's sides are 2 cm.
So, the area of square B is 4^2 = 16 cm^2, and A's area is 4 cm^2. We can see the shaded area is half of A, so it's 2 cm^2.
What percent of 16 is 2?
2 / 16 * 100 = 12.5%
4136/8= 517
The others
7116/8=889.5
4309/8=538.625
9406/8=1175.75
True the answer is true babes :)
