Using the information in the

Question

diagram, what is the height of
the height of the building is 160 ft and the length of the shadow is 144 ft
the tree to the nearest foot?
(1 point)
80 ft
180 ft
60 ft
72 ft

Answer 1

To find the height of the tree, we need to set up a proportion using the heights and shadows of the building and the tree:

Height of building / Length of building shadow = Height of tree / Length of tree shadow

160 ft / 144 ft = Height of tree / X

Cross multiply to solve for X:

160 ft * X = 144 ft * Height of tree
X = (144 ft * Height of tree) / 160 ft
X = 8640 ft / 160
X = 54 ft

Therefore, the height of the tree is 54 ft.
