Question

Jaleel's house is 18 feet high. Jaleel, who is 5 feet tall, stands next to his house on a sunny day. How long is the shadow of Jaleel's house if Jaleel's shadow is 8 feet long?

Answer 1

21 feet

Explanation:

First you find the difference between Jadeel's height and Jadeel's shadow

8-5=3

So the difference is 3

Then you add it to the house shadow because it is how much extra foot high it is

So the house shadow is 21 feet
