A light pole that is 3 meters (m) tall casts a shadow 2 meters long. at the same time. a person near the light pole casts a shadow 1.2 meters long
Answers
I assume you want the person's height.
since the height:shadow ratio is the same,
h/1.2 = 3/2
since the height:shadow ratio is the same,
h/1.2 = 3/2
i dont get it

You'll find your answer by using Steve's proportion. Cross multiply and solve for h.
Ms. Sue what do you after you cross multiply
I think that the answer is 1.8 or 2.2 I'm not exactly sure but if you know the answer could you text me at 7573833433
