Respuesta :
The nearby tower that casts a shadow that is 39.5 m long is 85 m tall.
Ratio is the relationship between two quantities, normally expressed as the quotient of one divided by the other.
The ratio of the shadow of a pole to its length is 1.4 m : 3 m.
At the same time, the ratio of the shadow of a tower to its length should also be equal to the ratio of the shadow of a pole to its length, which is 1.4 : 3.
Let x = length of the tower
Using proportion, determine the length of the tower by solving for x.
1.4 : 3 = 39.5 m : x
x = 39.5(3)/1.4
x = 84.64
Round off to the nearest meter.
length of the tower = 85 meters
