Question

EASY!! PLEASE HELP!! A silo casts a shadow that is 99 feet long. Next to the silo is an 18-foot-tall barn that casts a shadow that is 13.5 feet long. How tall is the silo?

Answer 1

74.24ft tall, you were right!

Explanation:

13.5/18 = 0.75

This is the ratio of shadow by actual height that you will use to find the height of the silo so now you multiply:

99*0.75 = 74.25

74.25 is the exact measurement of the taller silo's height.
