A lamp post casts an 18ft shadow. If Chris’s shadow is 6ft long and his height is 5.25ft, what is the height of the lamp post?

Answer:

15.6

Step-by-step explaination:

So first you have to find how much longer the shadow is from the actual. That is 1.15384615385 or about 1.15.

You take that and divide it by 18 and you get 15.6
