Atree casts a 25 foot shadow. at the same time of day, a 6 foot man standing near the tree casts a 9 foot shadow. what is the approximate height of the tree to the nearest foot?

a) 16 feet
b) 17 feet
c) 18 feet
d) 19 feet

Answer is option b

17 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that A tree casts a 25 foot shadow. At the same time of day, a 6 foot man standing near the tree casts a 9 foot shadow.

for man actual height = 6 foot

Shadow = 9 foot

At a particular time, the height/shadow ratio would be constant

Hence 6/9 =x/25

Or x = 25(6)/9

x=16.67feet

Rounding off x=17 feet

false

step-by-step explanation:

4y - 6 + 4y^2 - 9

before simplifying this contains 4 terms

after simplifying

4y -15 + 4y^2

it contains 3 terms

your answer is the frist one
