Answer 1

The height of the tree and the building are 7.6 m and 28.6 m respectively.

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

Two triangles are similar if they have the same shape and the ratio of their corresponding sides are in the same proportion.

Triangle BGD, CHD and AFD are similar triangles.

CH = 1.6, DH = 8, GH = 30,  GF = 105

FH = GF + GH = 105 + 30 = 135

FD = FH + DH = 135 + 8 = 143; GD = 30 + 8 = 38

Hence, using similar triangles:

BG/CH = GD / DH

BG / 1.6 = 38/8

BG = 7.6 m

Also:

building/CH = DF / DH

building / 1.6 = 143/8

building = 28.6 m

The height of the tree and the building are 7.6 m and 28.6 m respectively.
