Question

Given the diagram below, find the height of the shorter tree.
a. 13 m
b. 7 m
c. 16.2 m
d. 19.7 m

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2 situations are similar, so the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

$\frac{39}{h}$ = $\frac{48}{16}$= 3 ( multiply both sides by h )

39 = 3h ( divide both sides by 3 )

13 = h → A
