A length of rope is stretch between the top edge of the building at stake in the ground the head of the state is at ground level
the rope also touches a tree that is growing halfway between the state and the building if the tree is 38 feet tall how tall is the building
2 answers:
Answer:
76 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
based on the looooooong txt, the building n tree form two similar right-angled triangles w the rope as the hypothesis.
tree is halfway between stake and bldg so stake-to-bldg = 2 x stake-to-tree
as the triangles are similar, their sides are in the same ratio
bldg height = 2 x tree height
= 2 x 38
= 76 feet tall
Because the tree is the halfway point, the building would be twice as tall:
The building is 38 x 2 = 76 feet tall.
