Kyle is 52 inches tall. the distance from the top of his head to the tip of his shadow is 60 inches. approximately how long is kyle's shadow?

a.
30 inches

b.
40 inches

c.
79 inches

d.
102 inches

Using Pythagoras's theorem, we can get that 60 inches is the hypotenuse and 52 inches is one of the legs. 60^2 - 52^2 = b^2, where b is the leg that we are trying to find, aka the length of the shadow. We find that b^2 = 896. The square root of 896 is closest to 30 inches, therefore the answer is A) 30 inches

The answer is 30 calculate it and check if u dont belive
