Question

A tree casts a 24m shadow along the ground, measured from the tree's trunk to the farthest edge of the shadow. The measurement from the top of the tree to the farthest edge of the shadow is 80m.

PLEASEEEE HELP
How tall is the tree?

Answer 1

56

Explanation:

You subtract how long the shadow is from how long it is from the tree. This is true because the shadow is shorter than the tree because of the sun's ability to create it
