Answer: Length of shorter tree = 7.2 feet .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Height of two trees as 50 feet and 20 feet.

At same time the angle made by sun rays would be same for both trees.

Both trees are vertical to the ground making right angle so triangles made by both triangles must be similar.

Corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional.

So \dfrac{\text{length of the shadow of the shorter tree}}{\text{height of shorter tree}}=\dfrac{\text{length of the shadow of the bigger tree}}{\text{height of bigger tree}}\\\\=\dfrac{\text{length of the shadow of the shorter tree}}{20}=\dfrac{18}{50}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{length of the shadow of the shorter tree}=\dfrac{18}{50}\times20\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{length of the shadow of the shorter tree} = 7.2

So, Length of shorter tree = 7.2 feet .

neonofarm [45]

Brent estimates that the model's circumference is about 3 times the measure of the circle's diameter, with this, he can estimate the area.

<h3>What is a circle? </h3>

A circle is the locus of a point, such that the distance from a fixed point (center) is always constant.

The circumference of a circle is given by:

Circumference = π * diameter

Brent estimates that the model's circumference is about 3 times the measure of the circle's diameter, with this, he can estimate the area.
