Answer:

The person is 6 feet tall

Explanation:

The height of the buiding = 100 feet

The shadow cast by the building = 25 feet

Let the angle of the sun in the sky be represented by θ

The height of person = t

The shadow cat by the person = 1.5 feet

These can be descibed diagrammatically as shown below

From the diagrams:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \tan \theta\text{ = }\frac{100}{25}\ldots\ldots\ldots(1) \\ \tan \theta=\frac{t}{1.5}\ldots\ldots\ldots\text{.}(2) \end{gathered}[/tex]

Comparing equations (1) and (2)

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{100}{25}=\text{ }\frac{t}{1.5} \\ 4\text{ = }\frac{t}{1.5} \\ t\text{ = 4(1.5)} \\ t\text{ = }6 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The person is 6 feet tall
