What is the length of the longer post's shadow? Write your answer in a COMPLETE SENTENCE.

Answer 1

Given

The length of two vertical post is 2meters and 0.45 meter respectively.

And, the length of shadow of the shorter post is 0.85meter.

To find:

The length of the shadow of the longer post.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

The length of two vertical post is 2meters and 0.45 meter respectively.

And, the length of shadow of the shorter post is 0.85meter.

That implies,

Then,

`\begin{gathered} (2)/(0.45)=(x)/(0.85) \\ x=(2*0.85)/(0.45) \\ x=(1.7)/(0.45) \\ x=3.78m \end{gathered}`

Hence, the length of the shadow of the longer post is 3.78m.
