A 40-foot tree casts a 12-foot shadow. How long is the shadow of a 5-foot-tall person? A) 5 feet
B) 2 feet
C) 0.67 feet
D) 1.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportionality to solve this.

The height of the tree can act as the height of a right angled triangle, where the shadow is the base. The angle between the end of the shadow and the top of the object will be the same as the sun will shine from the same relative angle in the sky.  

Therefore :

146%

i believe so, according to my "strange" way of figuring out weird math problems like this.
