A. How tall is the tree?

B. How much taller is the tree than Frank?

the tree is 18 ft tall
and the tree is 12 ft taller than frank



hoped I helped :)

Answer 2

A. So we know that a 6 foot figure casts a shadow 4 feet long. 4 foot shadow x 5 = a 20 foot shadow. So this means we take 6 x 5 = 30, and the tree is 30 feet tall.
B. 30 - 6 = 24 feet taller than Frank
