Question 1149717: hi my question I encountered is ''Julia, who is 2 meters tall, wishes to find the height of a tree. she walks from the base of the tree along the shadow of the tree until her head is in a position where the the tip of her shadow exactly overlaps the end of the tree top's shadow. The trees shadow is 29.3 meters long. Julia's shadow is 9.75 meters long. How tall is the tree? the answer has to be rounded to hundredths'' Answer by josgarithmetic(39617) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Two similar triangles
y, how tall the tree
y corresponds to 2
29.3 corresponds to 9.75 -----------solve for y.
