Answer 1

Coretta's height is 1.45 meters and she casts a shadow 1.23 meters long.

A tree casts a shadow 6.80 meters long. How tall is the tree?

The proportion of Coretta's shadow to her height is 1.23/1.45 = 0.84828.

This is the same as the proportion of the tree's shadow to its height.

Divide 6.80 by 0.848 to find its height as ~ 8.02 meters.
