Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a couple of ways you could solve this problem. B is one of them.

The correct answer is going to be Small hypotenuse / Large hypotenuse = tree / building height

Let the tree equal x

100/220 = x / 176           Multiply both sides by 176

100 * 176 / 220 = x

x = 80

Notice that 80 is almost 1/2 of 176 so the answer should be right since 100 is nearly 1/2 of 220
