Answer :
Answer:
The tip of the shadow is at distance 3.41 ft from man
Explanation:
As per given figure we know that the tip of the shadow will form at a distance "x" from the man
now the similarity of the two triangles formed here we can say
[tex]\frac{27}{15 + x} = \frac{5}{x}[/tex]
now solving above equation
[tex]27 x = (15 + x) 5[/tex]
[tex]27 x = 75 + 5 x[/tex]
[tex]27 x - 5 x = 75[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{75}{22}[/tex]
[tex]x = 3.41 ft[/tex]
