Answer:

15 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 2 similar right triangles with legs height and length of shadows.

height of men : length of shadows of the man = height of tree : length of shadows of the tree

5 : 8 = x : 24

8x = 5* 24

x = 5*24/8 = 15 (feet)

The two events are independent of each other.

According to the question during a game of roulette, a wheel is spun and a ball drops randomly into one of the wheel's numbered compartments. The ball can drop in any one of the wheel's numbered compartments , there is no restriction on it.

Now,  the process is repeated with another random spin. when the process is repeated the ball can drop in any one of the wheel's numbered compartments , there is no restriction on it. As the first spin  does not affect the second spin, we can conclude that these two events are  completely independent of each other.
