Answer:
Brad's shadow is 3 feet long
Step-by-step explanation:
If a tree is 24 feet tall, and casts a shadow 12 feet long, The we know the shadows will be half as big as the main object.
Because Brad is 6ft tall, His shadow will be half of his hight (3ft long)
The slope of the tree to shadow is equal to the slope of Brad to shadow. The Brad's shadow is 3 ft long.
What is a right-angle triangle?
It is a type of triangle in which one angle is 90 degrees and it follows the Pythagoras theorem and we can use the trigonometry function. The Pythagoras is the sum of the square of two sides is equal to the square of the longest side.
A tree 24 feet tall casts a shadow 12 feet long.
Brad is 6 feet tall.
The slope of the tree to shadow is equal to the slope of Brad to shadow (x). Then we have
[tex]\rm \dfrac{x}{6} = \dfrac{12}{24}\\\\x \ = \dfrac{6*12}{24}\\\\x \ = 3[/tex]
