A 10-ft vertical post casts a 16-in shadow at the same time a nearby cell phone tower casts a 124-ft shadow. How tall is the cell phone tower?
Also Probably about 142.5 Feet tell me if it helps ok
10/16 = x/124
x = 124 * 10/16 = 77.5
To find the height of the cell phone tower, we can set up a proportion using the heights and shadows of the post and the tower.
Let's denote the height of the cell phone tower as "x". We know that the post is 10 ft tall with a shadow of 16 in, and the tower has a shadow of 124 ft. Therefore, we have the following proportion:
(height of post) / (shadow of post) = (height of tower) / (shadow of tower)
So, we can set up the proportion as:
10 ft / 16 in = x ft / 124 ft
First, let's convert the height of the post from feet to inches to make the units consistent:
10 ft * 12 in/1 ft = 120 in
Now, we can substitute the values into the proportion:
120 in / 16 in = x ft / 124 ft
Simplifying the proportion:
7.5 = x / 124
To find x, we can cross multiply:
7.5 * 124 = x
x ≈ 930
Therefore, the height of the cell phone tower is approximately 930 ft.
