Ben is 6 feet tall. he pounds a stake into the ground until only 1 foot of it is remaining out of the ground. it’s shadow is six inches long. how long is ben’s shadow?

The length of Ben's shadow is 3 feets long using the principle of proportional relationship.

Converting the length of stake into feet ;

I foot = 12 inches

x = 6 inches

x = (12 / 6) = 0.5 feets

Hence, stake's shadow is 0.5 feets

Using the relation :

Therefore, Ben's shadow is 3 feets on length

1 foot = 12 inchest

12/2 = 6

The shadow is half as long as the steak.

Ben = 6 feet

6/2 = 3

Bens shadow is 3 feet long.

answer: bearing in mind that a rectangle has a perimeter of length + length + width + width.

step-by-step explanation:

p = perimeter

l = length

x=width

p = 2l + 2x

p = 2(l+x)     < ==== perimeter of the base of the box.

arc length = 6.63311 ft.

step-by-step explanation:

the formula the arc measure is:

arc length s=2πr(c)/360

where:

c   is the central angle of the arc in degrees

r   is the radius of the arc

π   is pi, approximately 3.142

using the above formula we get

s =

thus we find that arc length of an arc for a circle of radius 20 feet and central angle 19 degrees is

6.63311 feet
