Question

Hello, I need help completing a practice math problem. Thank you so much!

Answer 1

in order to solve this problem, we will need to use the pythagorean theorem

`c=\sqrt[]{a^2+b^2}`

where,

height a = 8 , and

shadow b = 5

`\begin{gathered} c=\sqrt[]{8^2+5^2} \\ c=\sqrt[]{89} \end{gathered}`

therefore, the length of the line is 9.4 ft
