Question

A tree casts a 26-ft shadow. A boy standing nearby casts a 10-ft shadow, forming similarEriangles. His height is 4 ft. How tall is the tree?

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} \text{Both are forming same triangle,} \\ \frac{\text{tre}e}{26}=(4)/(10) \\ \text{tre}e=(4)/(10)*26 \\ \text{tre}e==10.4\text{ ft} \end{gathered}`
