A tree cast a shadow of 12 meters when a 5-meter pole casts a shadow of 4 meters. How tall is the tree?

Sagot :

Shinalcantaraviz
let 'x' be the height of the tree
5m:4m(shadow) = x:12m(shadow)
[tex] \frac{5}{4} = \frac{x}{12} [/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{5(12)}{4} [/tex]
x = 15m
Therefore the height of the tree is 15 meters.

x : 12 = 5 : 4
12 * 5 = 60
60 / 4 = 15
x= 15

The tree is 15 meter tall.
