Question

Patrick is 6 feet tall and casts a 4-foot shadow. At the same time, a tree casts a 28-foot shadow. How tall is the tree

Answer 1

Answer:

The tree is 30 feet tall

Step-by-step explanation:

As the height of Patrick =6 feet

But his shadow is casted as 4 feet

The difference in height of body and his shadow =(6-4) feet =2feet

So here the the height of the shadow of tree = 28 feet

We know here height of a body is 2 feet longer than the height of shadow of the body

So if the height of shadow of tree is 28 feet,so it's height is (28+2) feet = 30 feet

Therefore the answer is 30 feet(ANS)
