Ratio of height of the man to the length of the shadow = 6:9 = 2:3
Ratio of height of the tree to the length of its shadow = x:25 = 2:3
x/25 = 2/3
x = (25 x 2)/3 = 50/3 = 16.67

Therefore the approximate height of the tree to the nearest foot is 17 feet.

The question ask to calculate and find the approximate height of the tree to the nearest foot if it has cast a shadow of 25feet and the man also cast a shadow near it at a height of 6 foot. So base on that fact, I came up with an answer of approximately 17 feet. I hope you are satisfied with my answer

Help please word problem...show work please

A) you must plug in 50 for variable F and solve for C

C=\frac{5}{9}(50-32)
C=\frac{5}{9}(18)
C= 10
50 degrees fahrenheit is equal to 10 degrees celsius 

B) you must solve the equation for F

C= \frac{5}{9}(F-32)
C/\frac{5}{9}=F-32
C/\frac{5}{9}+32=F
F= C/\frac{5}{9}+32

dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying buy its reciprocal so it can also be written as

F=\frac{9}{5}C +32

now you just plug in 50 for the variable C in the new equation

F= \frac{9}{5}(50) +32
F= 90 + 32
F= 122

50 degrees celsius is equal to 122 degrees fahrenheit

hope this helped!
