Question

I need help. A building with a height of 48 m casts a shadow that is 30 m long. A person standing next to the building casts a shadow that is 0.8 m long. How tall is the person?

Answer 1

1.28 m

Explanation:

48/30 = x/.8

cross multiply

30x = 48(.8)

30x = 38.4

x = 38.4/30

x = 1.28 m
