28 because if in the woods is a cellular tower that is 72 feet tall and has a 60 foot shadow. next to it is a tree with a 40 foot shadow. how tall is the tree if the cellular tower is 72 feet tall and has a 60 foot shadow.that s deducting 12 feet so 40 - 12 = 28
Zyere is not correct
72/60 = x/40
60x = 40(72)
60x = 2880
x = 48
The ratio of height : shadow must be the same
note:
72 : 60 = 6 : 5 , and
48 : 40 = 6 : 5
72/60 = x/40
60x = 40(72)
60x = 2880
x = 48
The ratio of height : shadow must be the same
note:
72 : 60 = 6 : 5 , and
48 : 40 = 6 : 5
