Malika is 1.45 meters tall. At 10 a.m., she measures the length of a tree's shadow to be 32.25 meters. She stands 27.5 meters away from the tree, so that the tip of her shadow meets the tip of the tree's shadow. Find the height of the tree to the nearest hundredth of a meter.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

If the length of a tree's shadow is 32.25 meters. The height of the tree to the nearest hundredth of a meter will be : 9.84m

Given:

Malika height=1.45 meters

Length =32.25 meters

Width =27.5 meters

Height of the tree=x

Proportion:

1.45 : 32.25 :: x : 27.5

Now let determine the height of the tree

32.25-27.5/1.45=32.25/x

4.75/1.45=32.25/x

Cross multiply

4.75x=32.25×1.45

4.75x=46.7625

Divide both side

x=46.7625/4.75

x=9.84m

Inconclusion  if the  length of a tree's shadow is 32.25 meters. The height of the tree to the nearest hundredth of a meter will be : 9.84m
