Slope = change in y
change in x
I drew the pictures above by hand because I was unable to insert a picture from the internet on Geogebra.com
Below I have some information that might be useful.
To begin with, I wrote an equation.
y = w times x + b
If b = 0 we have y = w times x
w = slope
y = height of building
x = length of the shadow
So, we can write our equation as y = -0.875 times x and we can use it for calculating any shadows or building heights.
For example, shadow = 20 m
y = 20 times 0.875 = 17.5 m
Because the sun is moving, this wouldn't be an everyday logical situation. :)
Nice work here, Jovana :)
