A 1.5 m stick casts a 2 m shadow. A nearby tree casts a 6 m shadow. What is the tree's height?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Given:
Height of the stick = 1.5 m
Shadow of the stick = 2 m
Shadow of the tree = 6 m
Formula:
Height / Shadow = Equal
1.5 / 2 = h / 6
2h = 1.5 × 6
2h = 9
= 4.5
