Asked by Elijah

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
Answered by Steve
I assume you want the person's height.
since the height:shadow ratio is the same,

h/1.2 = 3/2

Answered by Ms. Sue
You'll find your answer by using Steve's proportion. Cross multiply and solve for h.
