A tree casts a 25 foot shadow. At the same time of day, a 6 foot man standing near the tree casts a 9 foot shadow. What is the approximate height of the tree to the nearest foot?

Please indicate subject, not grade level. That will help increase the chances that the appropriate teacher reads your question.

Because of similar-triangle geometry rules, the ratio of shadow length to the height of the object casting the shadow is a constant. If the tree height is x,
25/x = 9/6

Solve for x.

25/x = 9/6 (where 25 is the tree's shadow, x is the unknown height of the tree, 9 is the man's shadow and 6 is the man's height)

solve for x
cross multiply 25(6) = (9)x
150 = 9x
x = 150/9
do the division
x = 16.6
the tree is 16.6 feet or about 17 feet tall

A tree that is 100 feet tall casts a shadow that is 150 feet long. Determine the angle at which the rays of the sun hit the ground, to the nearest degree.

Answered by anonymous
6/x = 9/25
9x = 150
x = 150/9
x = 16.666.../16.7/17 feet
