To find the length of the cell tower's shadow, we can use proportions.
Let's set up the proportion based on the information given:
Flagpole height / Flagpole shadow length = Cell tower height / Cell tower shadow length
Substituting the given values:
9 m / 7 m = 16.2 m / x (where x is the length of the cell tower shadow)
Now, we can solve for x by cross multiplying:
9 m * x = 7 m * 16.2 m
9x = 113.4
Divide both sides of the equation by 9 to solve for x:
x = 113.4 / 9
x = 12.6
Therefore, the length of the cell tower shadow is 12.6 meters.
Let's set up the proportion based on the information given:
Flagpole height / Flagpole shadow length = Cell tower height / Cell tower shadow length
Substituting the given values:

Now, we can solve for x by cross multiplying:
9 m * x = 7 m * 16.2 m
9x = 113.4
Divide both sides of the equation by 9 to solve for x:
x = 113.4 / 9
x = 12.6
Therefore, the length of the cell tower shadow is 12.6 meters.
