Question

Ravi is 1.82m tall. he wants to find the height of a tree in his backyard . from the trees base he walked 12.20m.along the trees shadow to a position where the end of his shafow exactly overlaps the end of the tree shadow. he is now 6.10m from the end of the shafow . how tall is the tree?

Answer 1

Answer:

Height of the tree = 5.46 meter

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

$\frac{1.82}{6.1}  = \frac{x}{18.30}$

Now cross multiply to find the value of x

6.1x=1.82*18.3

6.1x=33.306

x=$\frac{33.306}{6.1}$

x=5.46 meters is the height of the tree.

That's the final answer.

I hope it will help you.
