Mathematics

8 0
(length of tree's shadow)/(height of tree) = (length of person's shadow)/(person's height)

24/x = 8/5

24*5 = x*8

120 = 8x

8x = 120

8x/8 = 120/8

x = 15

The tree is 15 feet tall

What is the surface area?
Alina [70]

The top is 4ft by 2 ft, area = 4 * 2=8 square feet.

The back is 1 1/2 ft by 4 feet, area = 1.5 *4 = 6 square feet.

The bottom equals the top = 8 square feet.

The front equals the back = 6 square feet.

The left side is 1 1/2 ft by 2 ft = 2 * 1.5 = 3 square feet.

The right side equals the left side = 3 square feet.


Total area = 8 + 6 + 8 + 6 + 3 + 3 = 34 square feet
