The Giant Wheel at Cedar Point in Ohio is one of the tallest Ferris wheels in the country at 136feet tall. If the Giant Wheel casts a 34-foot shadow, find the height of a nearby man who casts a1.5-foot shadow.

Respuesta :

6 feet

Explanation

Step 1

then, we have 2 similar trianlges,

as the triangles are similare, the proportion of their sides must be the same, so

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{136}{34}=\frac{h}{1.5} \\ Multipl\text{y both sides by 1.5} \\ \frac{136}{34}\cdot1.5=\frac{h}{1.5}\cdot1.5 \\ \frac{204}{34}=h \\ h=6 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, the man is 6 feet tall

I hope this helps you
