The answer is 16 ft because 6 ft tall over 4 feet 6 inches (4.5) is equal to x (tree's height) over 12 ft. You cross multiple and get 72 = 4.5x then you take 72 and divide by 4.5 to get the tree's height

\frac{6}{4.5}  =  \frac{x}{12}

A ball with mass m kg is thrown upward with initial velocity 28 m/s from the roof of a building 17 m high. Neglect air resistanc
Nutka1998 [239]

a. At its maximum height, the ball has zero vertical velocity, so

-\left(28\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2=2(-g)(y_{\rm max}-17\,\mathrm m)

\implies y_{\rm max}=57\,\mathrm m

b. The ball's height in the air y at time t is given according to

y=17\,\mathrm m+\left(28\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2

Solve for t when y=0:

17+28t-4.9t^2=0\implies t\approx6.3\,\mathrm s

The total area of the circle is pi x 5^2 = 25pi sq. cm.

2/5 of this is success, so the answer is 2/5 * 25pi = 10 pi sq. cm.
