4/h=1.6/1.5
h=6/1.6 check my work.
you notice that the shadow of the sign is 4metres long when your shadow is 1.6m long
if you are 1.5m tall,how tallis your sign?
h=6/1.6 check my work.
Cross multiply and solve for x.
x=0.6
First, let's set up the proportion using the given information:
1.6m (length of your shadow) corresponds to 1.5m (your height)
4m (length of the sign's shadow) corresponds to "x" (height of the sign)
The proportion can be written as:
1.6m / 1.5m = 4m / x
To solve for "x," we can cross-multiply and then divide to find the answer:
1.6m * x = 1.5m * 4m
1.6x = 6m²
Now, divide both sides of the equation by 1.6 to solve for "x":
x = 6m² / 1.6
x = 3.75m
Therefore, the height of your sign is 3.75 meters.
