A cell phone tower cats a 100-foot shadow.At the same time,a 4 foot 6 inch post near the tower casts a shadow of 3 feet 4 inches.Find the height of the tower ...?
We can set up a ratio of the height of the actual objects to the length of their shadows in order to obtain the height of the tower. Let h be the tower height. h/100 = 4.5 / 3.33 h = 135 feet
