Question

Suppose a Ferris Wheel is 160 feet high and casts a shadow that is 64 feet long. At the same time, a ticket booth next to the Ferris wheel casts a shadow that is 2.8 feet long. What is the height of the ticket booth? ( I NEED HELP WITH THIS QUESTION IMMEDIATELY PLEASE)

Answer 1

First, find the ratio of height to shadow of the ferris wheel. It will be the same ratio for both the ferris wheel and ticket booth because it is the same time of day.
