last question then i take my big final tomorrow bye bye high school !!! lol ^_^ A tree casts a shadow 45 m long. At the same time, the shadow cast by a 45-cm tall statue is 91 cm long. Find the height of the tree. Round results to the nearest whole number

Use similar triangles I think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would i use a2+b2=c2 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find the ratio of the length of the statues height to its shadow and then use that to find the height of the tree because you have the tree shadow length

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Use direct variation relation......

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know how to do all of that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let ht of tree = x then x 45 ----- = ---- 4500 91

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's how you do what I just said ^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

45 * 4500 x = ----------- 91

OpenStudy (anonymous):
