Answer:

Option D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that 6 feet tall casts shadow for 38 feet long.

We need to find the shadow f 986 ft tall Eiffel tower.

Let's set up proportional equation to solve. Let the shadow length as 'x' feet for the tower.

\frac{6}{38} = \frac{986}{x}

Cross multiply,

6 x= 37468

Divide both sides by 6.

x= 6244.67 feet approximately.

If we round it to nearest feet, we get 6245 feet.
