Question

A tree casts a shadow of 12 meters when a 5-meter post nearby casts a shadow of 6 meters. Find the height of the tree.

Answer 1

Answer: It should be 10 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

if you compare the two shapes you should get two fraction x/12=5/6 if you cross multiple you should get 6x=60, then divide by 6 on both sides to get x=10

1. x/12=5/6

2.6*x=12*5

3. 6x=60

4.x=10
