Question 261656: "Jackie who is 1.82 metes tall wants to find the height of a tree in her backyard. From the base of the tree, she walks 12.2 meters until her shadow overlaps the tree's shadow. She is 6.1 meters from the end of the shadows. Make a sketch and find the height of the tree". Answer by checkley77(12844) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! X/1.82=6.1/(6.1+12.2)
6.1X=1.82*18.3
6.1X=33.306
X=33.306/6.1
X=5.46 METERS IS THE HEIGHT OF THE TREE.
