Draw a diagram to illustrate problem as shown below.

Let h = the height of the tree.

Because ΔABC ~ ΔADE, therefore
DE/BC = AD/AB

That is,
h/1.94 = (5.1 + 10.2)/5.1 = 3
h = 1.94*3 = 5.82 m

Answer: 5.82 m

I am Lyosha [343]

It is given that there are 41 males and 48 females in the small school.

So, the number of ways a male student can be chosen from 41 males is ^{41}C_1

Likewise, the number of ways a female student can be chosen from 48 females is ^{48}C_1.

Thus, the total number of ways in which 2-person combinations are possible to represent the student body at the PTSAC meetings will be given by:

^{41}C_1\times ^{48}C_1=1968
