Question

HELLPP!a tree casts a shadow 23 meters long. At the same time, the shadow cast by a 43-centimeter tall statue is 79 cm long. find height of the tree, round answer to nearest whole number

Answer 1

the implication is that the angle is the same since the "height" of the sun defines the length of the shadow

Answer 2

this implies that they are proportional.

\[\frac{ h }{ 23 } = \frac{ 0.43 }{ 0.79 }\]
