A Ferris wheel is 136 feet tall. It casts a 34-foot shadow.
What is the height, in feet, of a nearby man that casts a shadow of 1.5 feet?
Enter the correct value.
The answer is x=6, Have a nice day!
ye ye
To find the height of the nearby man, we can use proportions.
We know that the height of the Ferris wheel is 136 feet, and it casts a shadow of 34 feet. We can write this as:
136 feet / 34 feet = x / 1.5 feet
To solve for x (the height of the man), we can cross-multiply and divide:
34 feet * x = 136 feet * 1.5 feet
Now we can solve for x:
34x = 204
Dividing both sides by 34:
x = 6
Therefore, the height of the nearby man is 6 feet.
since the height : shadow ratio is the same,
h/1.5 = 136/34
Now just solve for h.
Then, uh ... Enter the correct value.
