Thomas happened to notice that 4 oclock pm on his uncles 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?
25 feet tall This is in effect asking about similar triangles, the bases of which are the shadows and the (perpendicular) heights are the heights of the objects. Therefore, using the ratio of the two triangles (calculated from the "shadow" sides) the height of the tree can be determined. The ratio of the shadows of the post to tree is: 2ft : 10ft = 1:5 So the height of the tree is five times the height of the post. Thus: Height_of_tree = 5 x 5ft = 25 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.
