Answer:

13.6 meter

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Suzi's height, p1 = 1.7 m

Suzi's shadow, p2 = 0.3 m

Tree shadow, t2 = 2.4 m

Tree height, t1 =?

Using the relation :

p1 / p2 = t1 / t2

1.7 / 0.3 = t1 / 2.4

Cross multiply :

1.7 * 2.4 = 0.3 * t1

4.08 = 0.3t1

t1 = 4.08 / 0.3

t1 = 13.6

Height of the tree is 13.6 m

How to calulate how high a tree that is 5m high and shadow is 4m?
Deffense [45]
If you are trying to figure out the distance between the top of the tree and the end of the shadow, use a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the legs of the right triangle.
5^2 + 4^2 = c^2
25 + 16 = c^2
41 = c^2
c = √41 = 6.4 meters
