Abel is 6 feet tall and casts an 8-foot shadow. a lamppost next to him casts a 13.5-foot shadow. use the drop-down menus to build an equation that can be used to find the height, h, of the lamppost.

Step-by-step explanation:

this is a proportion word problem

so 6/8=x/13.5

notice that the top half of the division is for actual height and lower half is for the height of the shadow.

cross multiply your equation and then solve for x

x=10.125

(-5,-28)
