Question

Use a proportion to solve the problem. Round to the nearest tenth as needed. A tree casts a shadow 30 m long. At the same time, the shadow cast by a 56-cm tall statue is 88 cm long. Find the height of the tree.

Answer 1

30 tree shadow/x tree height = 56 statue shadow/88 tall
56x = 2640
x = 47.1

Answer 2

I THINK THE SAME                                        30x88=2640                                                                                                                56x=2640
                                                                               56     56
                                                                                          x=47.1
