Question

A tree is standing behind a building. 2/5 of the height of the tree can be seen and the rest is hidden by
the building. The building is 9 metres high. What is the height of the tree? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If only 2/5 of the tree is visible, then 3/5 of it is hidden by the building that is 9m tall.

So, if 3/5 is 9m, 1/5 is 9/3=3m

3m*5=15m, which is the tree’s height.

Thus, the height of the tree is 15 meters.

Hope this helps.
