Question

A tree casts a shadow 29 meters long. At the same time a 3-meter high pole casts a shadow 4 meters long. What is the height of the tree to the nearest meter?

Answer 1

The tree would be 22ft You take x for the height of the tree and put it over 29 for the length of the shadow, then you take 3 for the height of the pole over 4 for the length of is shadow. Then cross multiply. So x over 29 = 3 over 4. Cross multiply to get x=22

Answer 2

So what I would do is 33 divided by 3 which is 11
