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?

Respuesta :

The tree is about 17 feet tall
From the man's height we see that height = shadow/1.5
tree height = 25/1.5 = 16.666666 feet
