A 64-foot tall monument casts a shadow 16 feet long. If Kyle is stsnding nearby and is 6'3 tall, find the length of his shadow.​

Respuesta :

Answer: Length of his shadow is 18 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of tall monument = 64 foot

Length of shadow = 16 feet

Length of pole where Kyle is standing = 6 feet 3 inch = 72 inches

So, we need to find the length of its shadow.

So, according to question, we get that

[tex]\dfrac{64\times 12}{16\times 12}=\dfrac{72}{x}\\\\4=\dfrac{72}{x}\\\\4x=72\\\\x=\dfrac{72}{4}\\\\x=18\ feet[/tex]

Hence, length of his shadow is 18 feet.
