Question

Ravi is 1.82m tall .He wants to find the base of the tree they walked 12.20m along the tree shadow to a position where the end of his shadow exactly over laps the end of the tree shadow,he is now 6.10m from the end of the shadow. How tall is the tree?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Suppose height of a tree = x meter.

Height of Ravi= 1.82 meter

Ravi's shadow = 6.1 meter

Tree's shadow = 12.20 + 6.10  = 18.30 meter

Now cross multiply to find the value of x

6.1x=1.82*18.3

6.1x=33.306

x=

x=5.46 meters is the height of the tree.

That's the final answer.

I hope it will help you.
