Tree height after 1 year = 6 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Jacob planted a 5-foot tree
=> original height = 5 ft
After one year, he measured it and found that the tree had grown by 20% of its original height.
=> Height Increased = (20/100) * 5 = 1 ft
Tree height after 1 year = Original Height + increase in Height
=> Tree height after 1 year = 5 + 1
=> Tree height after 1 year = 6 ft
