Question

A man is standing next to a 24 foot tree. the man is 7 feet tall with a shadow of 3 feet. how long is the shadow of the tree

Answer 1

First we divide 24 by 7.

24÷7=3.42

now we multiply 3.42 by 3 since that was the length of the mans shadow

3.42x3=10.26

The trees shadow is 10.26 feet long.

By the way, that is a very tall man
