Remark
Make up a proportion that relates the tree and its properties to the stick and its properties.
Givens
Stick height (s_h) = 4
Stick shadow(s_s) = 2
Tree shadow = t_s = 18
Tree height = x
Formula
s_h / s_s = x / t_s
Substitute and solve.
4/2 = x / 18 Cross multiply
4*18 = 2 * x
72 = 2x Divide by 2
72/2 = x
x = 36
The height of the tree is 36 feet.
Answer:
You showed the right work and got the right answer!
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Since B is in the middle of A and C, AB + BC = AC
So,
2x - 11 + 8 = x + 3
x - 3 = 3
x = 6
