Question

Phil, Melissa, Noah, and Olivia saw a tall tree that cast a shadow 38 feet long. They observed at the same time that a 5-foot-tall person cast a shadow that was 9.5 feet long How tall is the tree?​

Answer 1

Answer:

21.1 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We can do 38 / 9.5 to get the height of the shadow

4.22 is what we get

Now we know that 9.5 in shadow height  is 5ft in real height

4.22 * 5 =  21.1

The tree is 21.1 ft tall
