Question

An object's height varies directly with the length of its shadow. A person who is 6 feet tall casts a 12-foot shadow. How long is the shadow of a 33-foot tree?

A.62 feet

B. 66 feet

C. 72 feet

D. 12 feet

Answer 1

Hello!

As it says in the question, a person that is 6 feet tall has a shadow that is 12 feet tall. You would find the length of the shadow of the 33 foot tree by multiplying 33 by 2, since 6 multiplied by 2 is 12, the length of the shadow, then multiplying 33 by 2 will give you a shadow of 66 feet.

So the length of the tree's shadow would be 66 feet tall

I hope this helps!
