Question

A tree casts a shadow that is 24 ft long. A 4-ft tall boy casts a shadow that is 3 ft long. The two triangles created are similar. How tall is the tree?

(HINT: Draw a picture first!)

Answer 1

Swell, I can't draw a picture. So the boy's shadow is showing as 75% so next you have to divide 24 by 3 which is 8 then mutiply it by four to get 32. The tree is 32ft tall. Hope this helped.

Answer 2

The tree would be 32 feet tall  using the fishy method
