The triangle that is formed from by connecting the shadow, the tree and the endpoints of each is a right triangle. The two triangles formed (by the tree and its shadow, and by Rachel and her shadow) are similar. In similar triangles, the corresponding sides are proportional. Thus, to give the numerical answer to this item,
                         length  of the tree/14 ft = 6 ft / 3.5 ft
                                  length of the tree = 24 ft

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

≈ 345.8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a right triangle formed by Bonnie's height (h) the ground and the angle of elevation.

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle

tan20° = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{h}{950} ( multiply both sides by 950 )

950 × tan20° = h , thus

h ≈ 345.8 ft ( to 1 dec. place )
