Question 237900
Use similar right triangles in which the bases represent the shadows and the heights represent the heights of the tree and the statue.
Using proportions, the height of the tree (h) is to the height of the statue as the shadow-length of the tree is to the shadow-length of the statue.
{{{h/46 = 21/69}}}
{{{h = 21(46)/69}}}
{{{h = 966/69}}}
{{{h = 14}}}meters.
