Answer:

27.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up a ratio that represents the problem:

Object's Height (ft) : Shadow (ft)

Substitute with the dimensions of the 34 foot pole and its 30 foot shadow.

34 : 30

Find the unit rate:

The unit rate is when one number in a ratio is 1.

Let's make the Shadow equal to one by dividing by 30 on both sides.

Object's Height (ft) : Shadow (ft)

34 : 30

/30  /30

1.13 : 1

Now, let's multiply by 24 on both sides to find the height of the tree.

Multiply:

Object's Height (ft) : Shadow (ft)

1.13 : 1

x24  x24

27.2 : 24

Therefore, the tree is 27.2 feet tall.
