<span>Let the height of tree be denoted as AB and the shadow cast by the tree be BE. ABE is the triangle formed the tree, rays and the ground. Let the height of the person be CD and the length of his shadow be DE. CDE is the triangle formed by the person, rays and the ground. We have two triangles. Both the person and the tree stand vertically over the horizontal ground, therefore they make 90 degrees with the ground. The angle formed at the ground is the same for the both the triangles. Therefore, by AA similarity the two triangles are similar. We know that if two triangles are similar, then their sides are proportional. Therefore, AB/CD =BE/DE AB/6 = 143/11 AB= (143/11) *6 AB = 78 ft.</span>

GREYUIT [131]
All the components in the state vector need to sum to 1. You're given that component corresponding to state 1 is 0.2, and that the component for state 3 is 0.

That leaves states 2 and 4, for which you're told that the component for state 2 is four times as large. If x_i is the component for state i, then you have

x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4=1\iff 0.2+4x_4+0+x_4=1\implies5x_4=0.8\implies x_4=0.16

which means x_2=4x_4=0.64. So the state vector is \mathbf x=(0.2,0.64,0,0.16).
