Question

A man that is 6 feet tall casts a shadow 5 feet long. At the same time, a lamppost beside the man casts a shadow 25 feet long. How tall is the lamppost?

Answer 1

The answer to your question is: L = 30 ft

Explanation:

Data

man = 6 ft

man shadow = 5 ft

lamppost shadow = 25 ft

lamppost height = ? = L

Process

`(6)/(5) = (L)/(25)`

`L = (6 x 25)/(5)`

`L = (150)/(5)`

L = 30 ft
