Answer:


(6)/(h)=(10)/(40)

Explanation:

This is a problem of two similar triangles.

Similar triangles have proportional corresponding sides.

The height of tree is given as "h"

Now looking at the small triangle,

the left side is 6 which corresponds to height of tree, "h"

The base of the small triangle is 10, which corresponds to base of large triangle, which is 40

So,

6 goes with h

10 goes with 40

So, the ratio would be:

6:h = 10:40

The last answer choice is right,
(6)/(h)=(10)/(40)
