Answer:

The answer to your question is: the three is 21 ft tall

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Thales's theorem to solve this exercise

Data

light post height = 9 ft

shadow of the light post = 6 ft

tree shadow = 14 ft

height of the three = x

        Proportions                

                                    x /  9 = 14 / 6

Solve for x                  x = 14(9) / 6

                                   x = 21 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Collecting terms of the expression, we have ...

  x + 0.1x = x(1 +0.1) = 1.1x

In words, adding 10% is the same as multiplying the value by 1.1. Choice A is appropriate.
