a tree that is 4 feet tall casts a shadow that is 9 feet long find the length of a shadow that is 48 ft tree cast

108 ft long

Step-by-step explanation:

they both form similar triangles like shape

therefore

(n^3 - n)

= n(n-1)(n+1)

since it is divisible by 3 and 2 ,because it is a multiple 3 consecutive number

if, n-1 is odd then n+1 is also odd, then it is a multiple of 9

but if, n-1 is even then n+1 is also even, then it is a multiple of 4

so, largest multiple = max(9*2, 4*3) = max(18, 12) = 18
