AHSME 1983 Problem 27
A large sphere is on a horizontal field on a sunny day. At a certain time the shadow of the sphere reaches out a distance of m from the point where the sphere touches the ground. At the same instant a meter stick (held vertically with one end on the ground) casts a shadow of length m. What is the radius of the sphere in meters? (Assume the sun's rays are parallel and the meter stick is a line segment.)
