Question 276635: You see the top of a television transmitter tower from your classroom. On the map, I see that it is 2 miles away. You know that the tower is 500 feet tall. You see that the very top leaves of a tree sometimes get in the way of the top of the tower. The tree is 50 yards from where you are in your classroom. How tall is the said tree?
7.1 ft
9.2 ft
5.1 ft
3.8 ft
2.6 ft
1.5 ft
I would be grateful for any assistance. I have tried to calculate the answer but, I seem to end up with 2.5 ft, which is not an option. Answer by scott8148(6628) (Show Source):
