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
