Question

a basketball pole is 10 feet high and cast a 12 foot shadow .a player standing nearby is 5 feet tall .how long is the player's shadow ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

6 feet

Step-by-step explanation: If a 10 foot object casts a 12 foot shadow, that means the shadow is 1.2 times the objects height. If the person is 5ft tall 5 x 1.2 = 6 feet

Answer 2

Answer:

6 ft. Shadow

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not 100% sure if this is correct but hopefully it is!

If something 10ft. high casts a 12ft. shadow then something half of 10ft. or 5 ft. would cast a 6ft. shadow.

Hope this Helps!!! :)
