Question

What is the height of the tree

A. 156 ft
B. 100 ft
C. 80 ft
D. 25 ft​

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

You first must find the conversion rate. Since you know a 4 ft tall object produces a 5 foot long shadow, you simply divide 4 by 5. This gives you 0.8. Now that you have your conversion rate, you multiply it by the shadow the tree casts, that being 125, and your answer is B, 100.
