Question

When a 9-foot tall garden shed cast a 5-foot 3-inch shadow, a house cast a 28-foot shadow. What is the height of the house?

Answer 1

`h=48" "`feet

Explanation:

let `h` be the height of the house in feet.

`h/28=9/(5+1/4)`

`h/28=9/(21/4)`

`h=(28*9*4)/21`

`h=48" "`feet

God bless....I hope the explanation is useful.
