Mini Me is similar to Dr. Evil in every way, including his size. If Mini Me is 3.5 feet tall and casts a shadow that is 4 feet long, how long will Dr. Evil's shadow be if he stands 6 feet tall?

Respuesta :

The ratio of hieght of shadow to the height of individual is same for both individual. So height of shadow for Dr Evil's is,

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{h}{6}=\frac{4}{3.5} \\ h=\frac{6\cdot4}{3.5} \\ =6.857 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The shadow of Dr Evil's is 6.857 ft.
