What is the approximate height of the tower in meters?

1 answer:

7 0

Use similar triangles
distance of man from puddle = 0.5 m.
distance of puddle from tower = 13 - 0.5 = 12.5 meters
so we have 2 similar triangles
one has height 2 m and base 0.5 m and the other has height x m ( the tower) and base 12.5 m

Corresponding sides are in the same ratio, so

2 / x = 0.5 / 12.5

0.5x = 2*12.5 = 25

x = 25 / 0.5 = 50 m

The tower is approx 50 m high.

Rudik [331]

In 24 hours, the worm climbs 5 feet.

7-2= 5 (the worm falls 2 feet every night)

So,

5*8=40

It will take bruce's worm about 8 days to get to the top of the well.

I hope this helps!
