To find the height of the tree, we can set up a proportion:
Height of tree / length of tree's shadow = height of building / length of building's shadow
Let x represent the height of the tree:
x / 9 = 40 / 18
Cross multiplying:
18x = 360
Dividing both sides by 18:
x = 20
Therefore, the tree is 20 feet tall.
Height of tree / length of tree's shadow = height of building / length of building's shadow
Let x represent the height of the tree:
x / 9 = 40 / 18
Cross multiplying:
18x = 360
Dividing both sides by 18:
x = 20
Therefore, the tree is 20 feet tall.
