Question Statement:

A streetlight is mounted at height 6 m on a vertical pole. A person of height 2 m stands 8 m away from the base of the pole. What is the length of the person's shadow on the ground in meters?

Answer Key:

4

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

By similar triangles: H_light / (D + L) = H_person / L => 6 / (8 + L) = 2 / L => 6L = 2(8 + L) = 16 + 2L => 4L = 16 => L = 4 meters.
