For both problems, we'll set up equations that help to solve problems dealing with similarity.
For the first one, we can write 50/40 = x/4 (we set this up in the ratio height:shadow). This simplifies to 200 = 40x, which simplifies to x=5 (using the Division Property of Equality).
For the second one, we can do the same thing. We'll set up a ratio for the longest and shortest sides (longest:shortest). This will become 6/8 = 3/x, which simplifies to 6x = 24, which becomes x=4.
So your answers are 5 feet, and 4 (units).

Answer:
a. The tree is 30 feet tall.
b. The tree is 24 feet taller than Frank.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the shadow of the tree is 20 feet and the shadow of Frank is 4 feet, 20+4 is 24. 24+6 is 30, so the tree is 30 feet tall and the tree is 24 feet taller than Frank.
101 minutes
Let’s have x represent minutes.
8+0.06x=14.06
Subtract the 8 over
0.06x=6.06
Divide by 0.06 on both sides
X=101
