Answer:
The court house tower should be 51 feet tall.
Step-by-step explanation:
2.5+2.5=5 feet because 2+2=4 and 0.5+0.5=1. 4+1=5
25.5+25.5=51 because 25+25=50 and 0.5+0.5=1. 50+1=51
Answer:
The court house tower is 62.5 feet tall
Step-by-step explanation:
A five foot boy casts a 2 foot shadow.
Height of boy = 5 feet
Height of shadow of boy = 2 feet
[tex]\frac{\texttt{Height of boy}}{\texttt{Height of shadow of boy}}=\frac{5}{2}=2.5[/tex]
So ratio of original height to shadow height is 2.5.
Now we need to find how tall is the court house tower, if its shadow is 25 feet.
[tex]\frac{\texttt{Height of house tower}}{\texttt{Height of shadow of house tower}}=2.5\\\\\frac{\texttt{Height of house tower}}{25}=2.5\\\\\texttt{Height of house tower}=2.5\times 25=62.5feet[/tex]
The court house tower is 62.5 feet tall
