Question

12.The height of the tree is 4.2 m. Jack's ladder is 2.8 m tall. Jack is 179 cm tall.
Compared to the tree, how much taller (measured in cm) is Jack if he is standing
at the top of the ladder

Answer 1

Answer:

The total height (when Jack is standing on the ladder) is 39cm taller than the tree's height.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Jack is standing on his ladder, it means that the total height is the sum of Jack's height and the ladder's height.

Jack's height+Ladder's height=Total height.

2.8m+1.79m=total height [Because 1cm=0.01m]

Total height: 4.59m.

Now, we need to subtract the tree's height from this height.

Total height-Height of the tree.

4.59m-4.20m

=0.39m

=39cm

So, the total height (when Jack is standing on the ladder) is 39cm taller than the tree's height.
