Question

A 5 ft. tall person cast a shadow 8 ft. in length. The person is standing 32

ft. from a tree. How tall is the tree? *

Answer 1

This question has insufficient information. Assuming that the person is standing at the tip of the tree's shadow, then the tree would be 8/5 * 32 feet, or 256/5 feet, or 51.2 feet.
