Question

a 3 ft vertical post casts a 24 inch shadow at the sam time a pine tree casts a 30 ft shadow. How tall is the pine tree?

Answer 1

Note: 24 inches = 2 feet (since 24/12 = 2)


(height of post)/(length of post's shadow) = (height of tree)/(length of tree's shadow)


3/2 = x/30


3*30 = 2*x ... cross multiply
