Use a proportion to solve the problems. Round to the nearest tenth as needed.
A tree cast a shadow 39 m long at the same time, the shadow cast by a 43-cm tall statue is 62 cm long. Find the height of the tree

Answer 1

Note: 100 centimeters = 1 meter

x/39 = 0.43/0.62 (Proportion)
0.62x = 39 * 0.43 (Cross-products)
x = 10.4


Height of Tree: 10.4 meters
