The relationship between her height and the tree's is an illustration of ratios and proportions

The height of the tree is approximately 2.11 meters

Her height is represented as:

\mathbf{h =1.85}

At 12 noon, the length of the tree's shadow and her distance from the shadow are given as:

\mathbf{D =39.75}

\mathbf{d =34.9}

To calculate the height (H) of the tree, we make use of the following equivalent ratios

\mathbf{H : h =D : d}

So, we have:

\mathbf{H : 1.85 =39.75 : 34.9}

Express ratio as fraction

\mathbf{\frac{H }{ 1.85 }=\frac{39.75 }{ 34.9}}

Multiply both sides by 1.85

\mathbf{H=1.85 \times \frac{39.75 }{ 34.9}}

\mathbf{H=2.11}

Hence, the height of the tree is approximately 2.11 meters

algol13

The quantity of water left in the tank as described in the task content is; 111 l 220ml.

<h3>What is the amount of water left in the tank?</h3>

The tank described in the task content initially contains 200 liters, in which case, 1 liter corresponds to 1000ml.

Hence, when 88l 580ml was used, the remaining quantity of water is; 200l - (88l 580ml) = 111 l 420ml.

And finally, since 200 ml leaked, the quantity of water left is; 111l 220ml.
