Question

A radio tower casts an 8-foot-long shadow at the same time that a vertical yardstick casts a shadow one half inch long. If the triangles formed by the objects and their shadows are similar, how tall is the radio tower?

Answer 1

Explanation:

576

Answer 2

Explanation:

1 yard = 1/2in shadow

Then 8ft = 192 * 1/2in

Then the radio tower is 192 yards (1 yard = 3 feet)

The radio tower = 576 feet
