Question

A 4 ft. tall baby elephant standing next to a man casts a 6 ft shadow. If the man casts a shadow that is 9 ft. long, then how tall is it? Pls, help

Answer 1

Answer:

let AOE of sun be x

tan x = 4/6 (from baby elephant case)

so, tan x = y/9 = 4/6

y = 36/6 = 6 feet

Thus, the man is 6 feet tall
