Answer: 22 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Draw a picture of a right triangle and label the height as 30 meters and the hypotenuse as 37 meters. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the base (the length of the shadow).
a² + b² = c²
x² + 30² = 37²
x² = 37² - 30²
x² = 1369 - 900
x² = 469
√x² = √469
x = 21.656
x ≈ 22
