Thomas happened to notice that at 4 PM on his uncle's farm a fence post that was 5 feet tall cast a 3 foot shadow He also noticed that a nearby tree cast a 12 foot shadow How tall is the tree?
The tree was 20 feet tall.
What would be the length of the shadow of a 24 ft tree when a 40 ft tree casts a 16 ft shadow?
You have two similar triangles with one side the tree, and another the shadow Using the side with the tree, the ratio of the length of the triangles can be found: the triangles are in the ratio of 24 : 40 Thus divide the shadow of the 40ft tree by 40 to find out the length of shadow per foot of tree, and multiply this by 24 to find the length of the shadow of the 24 ft tree. This can be done by using the ratio as a fraction 24/40: → the shadow of the 24 ft tree is 16 ft × 24/40 = 9.6 ft
A tree is standing next to a 40 foot high building the tree has an 18 foot shadow while the building has a 16 foot shadow how tall is the tree rounded to the nearest foot?
(18/16)x40=45
A vertical yardstick casts a 1 foot shadow and the same tree nearby casts a 15 foot shadow How tall is the tree?
That depends on the height of the yardstick whose height has not been given.
A tree cast a 9 ft shadow at the same time that the a person 6ft tall cast a 4 ft shadow what is the height if the tree?
To find the height of the tree, we can set up a proportion using the similar triangles formed by the tree and its shadow, and the person and their shadow. The ratio of the height of the tree to its shadow is the same as the ratio of the height of the person to their shadow. This gives us (height of tree)/(9 ft) = (6 ft)/(4 ft). Solving for the height of the tree, we get height of tree = (9 ft * 6 ft) / 4 ft = 13.5 ft.
A tree cast a 24-foot shadow at the same time a fence post 5 feet high cast a 4-foot shadow how tall is the tree?
It works out as 30 feet in height
How high is a tree that casts a 21 foot shadow at the same time a 6.5 foot man cast a 5 foot shadow?
27.3 feet
When a tree cast a 20 foot shadow a man 6 feet tall casts a 3 foot shadow how tall is the tree?
The man is twice as high as his shadow. Therefore, the tree must also be twice as high as its shadow, which would make the tree 40 feet tall.
How high is a tree that cast a 24-foot shadow at the same time a 8-foot pole casts a shadow which is 11-foot long?
17.45 feet.
Thomas happened to notice that like at 4 oclock pm on his unlces farm a fence post that was 5 ft tall cast a 2 foot shadow he also noticed that a nearby tree cast a 10 foot shadow how tall is the tree?
The ratio of the shadow cast to the height of an object will be the same at the same time of day. For the fence post, the height of the post is 2.5 times the length of the shadow ( 5 ft / 2 ft = 2.5 ) The tree has a 10 foot shadow, so using the same ratio for the fence post: 10 ft * 2.5 = 25 feet. The tree is 25 feet tall

The tree was 20 feet tall.
How high is a tree that casts a 27 foot shadow at the same time a 5 foot man cast a 13 foot shadow?
10.'384615' (recurring decimals) feet

25 ft

You have two similar triangles with one side the tree, and another the shadow Using the side with the tree, the ratio of the length of the triangles can be found: the triangles are in the ratio of 24 : 40 Thus divide the shadow of the 40ft tree by 40 to find out the length of shadow per foot of tree, and multiply this by 24 to find the length of the shadow of the 24 ft tree. This can be done by using the ratio as a fraction 24/40: → the shadow of the 24 ft tree is 16 ft × 24/40 = 9.6 ft
A vertical pole 5 feet long casts a shadow of 2 feet if at the same time a nearby tree casts a shadow of 10 feet how tall is the tree?
The tree is 25 feet tall. A 5 foot pole cast a 2 foot shadow. This means that the sun angle causes the shadow to be 2/5 the length of the object casting it. The tree's shadow is 10 feet tall. Multiply 10 feet by 5/2 (inverting the fraction because we're going the other way) and we get 25 feet.
A tree cast a shodow 20 feet long a 5 foot tall boy stands in the shadow so that the end of his shadow lines up with the tree his shadow is 6 feet long how tall is the tree?
60
At a certain time of day a person 6 feet tall casts a 4-foot shadow How long is the shadow cast by a 21-foot tree at the same time?
Designate the unknown shadow length by s. Shadows cast at the same time and place are proportional to the height of the object casing the shadow. Therefore: 4/6 = s/21, or s = [4(21)]/6 = 14 feet.
