Question

a 6 foot tall man casts a shadow that is 9 ft long. At the same time, a tree nearby casts a 48 ft shadow. how tall is the tree

Answer 1

Answer: 32ft tall

Explanation:

Answer 2

32 ft tall

Explanation:

Since a 6 ft man casts a shadow 9 ft long, the shadow is 3/2 of the actual object/person.

SINCE THE TREE'S SHADOW IS AT THE SAME TIME, THE HEIGHT IS THE SAME RULE.

We know the tree's shadow is 48 ft.

--> 48/3 = 16

16 x 2 = 32

32 ft tall

Hope this helps!
