Question

If a 15 ft tall adult giraffe casts a 18 ft long shadow, then how long is the shadow that a 5 ft tall bird bath casts?​

Answer 1

x = 6 ft. long shadow

Explanation:

its a ratio and proportion:

15 ft. tall giraffe = 5 ft. tall bird

18 ft. shadow x shadow

15 (x) = 18 (5)

x = 90 / 15

x = 6 ft. long shadow
