Question

a vertical pole 6 feet high casts a shadow 4 feet long.at the same time a tree casts a shadow 64 feet long.what is the height,in feet,of the tree?

(ans me full,not shortcut)
thanks

Answer 1

The ratio of the pole's height to its shadow is 6 to 4. 
The ratio of the tree's height to its shadow is x to 64. 

Equate the ratios: 
6/4 = x/64 

Cross multiply: 
4x = 6*64 
4x = 384 

Divide both sides by 4: 
x = 384/4 
x = 96 

Answer: 
The tree is 96 feet tall.

Answer 2

the answer is based on ratio so the answer must 96 just did it
