Two trees standing side by side in the sunlight one is 50 feet tall and the other is 20 feet tall if the taller tree casts a 18-foot shadow, what is the length in feet of the shadow of the shorter tree

Given:

Length of taller tree = 50 feet

Length of shorter tree = 20 feet

Length of shadow of taller tree = 18 feet

To find:

The length of shadow of shorter tree.

Solution:

Since, two trees standing side by side in the sunlight, therefore the length of trees are proportional to their shadows.

Let the length of shadow of shorter tree be x feet.

Using the given information, we get

By cross multiplication, we get

Therefore, the length of shadow of shorter tree is 7.2 feet.

step-by-step explanation:

it will cost dollar $540

the living room is 3 which means if we divide 325/3 then we get $108

therefore if 1part of the living room cost $108 and 3 costed $325

then total 5part of the room will cost 5*108 which gives $540
