(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 are the areas of each smaller rectangle and the large rectangle?
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Area of part 1: 3 * 5\sqrt{2} = 15\sqrt{2}

Area of part 2: 3\sqrt{2} * 5\sqrt{2}=30

Area of entire rectangle: 30 + 15\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle can be found by using formula : length * width.

The area of part 1 can be simplified to this:

3 * 5\sqrt{2} = 15\sqrt{2}

Area of part 2:

3\sqrt{2} * 5\sqrt{2}=30

The area of the entire rectangle can simply be added from part 1 and part 2.

For area 2, remember multiplying the square root of 2 twice nullifies the square root. So it becomes 15 * 2, which is equal to 30.
