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)

−

q

Substituting that into the second equation, we have

(

100

−

q

)

+

25

q
