Answer:
22.1 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The shadow is formed at a specific factor of the original image hence if a 5 feet tall man casts a shadow rhat is 4 1/3 feet long then a telephone pole casts a shadow that is 25.5 feet long must have a length
5 / 4 1/3 = x / 25.5
where x is the length of the pole
5 / 13/3 = x/ 25.5
15/13 = x/25.5
cross multiply
15 * x = 13 * 25.5
Divide both sides by 15
x = 13 * 25.5 / 15
x = 22.1 inches
The telephone pole in inches is 22.1 long
