Answer:
The shadow of the windmill will be 24 yards long
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us use the ratio method to solve the question
∵ A bell tower that is 60 yards tall casts a shadow 32 yards long
∴ The tall = 60 yards and the shadow = 32 yards
∵ A windmill is 45 yards tall
∴ The tall = 45 yards
→ By using the ratio method
→ Tall : Shadow
→ 60 : 32
→ 45 : x
→ By using the cross multiplication
∵ x × 60 = 45 × 32
∴ 60x = 1440
→ Divide both sides by 60
∵ [tex]\frac{60x}{60}=\frac{1440}{60}[/tex]
∴ x = 24
∴ The shadow of the windmill will be 24 yards long
