At noon a tree cast a shadow that is 40' long the distance from the top of the tree to the 1st tip of the shadow is 60' what is
Alla [95]
The Pythagorean theorem can be used for this.
.. (tip distance)² = (shadow length)² + (tree height)²
.. tree height = √((tip distance)² -(shadow length)²)
.. tree height = √((60 ft)² -(40 ft)²) = √(2000 ft²)
.. tree height ≈ 44.72 ft
