At 3:00 PM a man 5 ft tall casts a shadow 19.5 ft long. At the same time, a tree nearby casts a shadow 171.6 ft long. How tall is the tree?

Answer:

79.1

Explanation:

19.5 minus 5 equals 14.5 so the shadow is 14.5 more than the actual thing.

subtract 14.5 from 93.6 and you get 79.1

Tbh I'm not sure how a tree can be 79.1 feet tall but that's what I got from the question. Math class does that sometimes. lol
