Question

Shadows cast angles at equal measures, making triangles formed by shadows similar.

Lance the alien is 5 feet tall. His shadow is 8 feet long.

Answer 1

the third side is 9.43

Explanation:

the length from his head to the shadow of his head is the same as

`5^(2)` +
`8^(2)` =
`c^(2)`

so we solve this to get c = 9.43
