Question

ShapesA 10-foot flag pole is next to a tree. The flag pole is casting a shadow of 20feet and the tree is casting a shadow that is 42feet. How tall is the tree?

Answer 1

the height of the tree is 21 feet

Explanation:

The computation of the height of the tree is shown below:

As the tree and slides are next to each other so their shadows would be proportional to heights

i,e,

`(10)/(20) = (height)/(42) \\\\Height = (42* 10)/(20)`

Height = 21 feet

hence, the height of the tree is 21 feet
