At 3​ pm, Coretta's shadow is 1.36meters long. Her height is 1.78meters. At the same​ time, a​ tree's shadow is 4.1meters long. How tall is the​ tree?

Answer 1

T/4.1 = 1.78/1.36, the ratio of height to shadow is the same for anyone or anything, usually.

solve for T= height of the tree

T = (1.78)(4.1)/1.36 = about 5.37 meters tall
