22. Katie is 6 feet tall and casts a shadow that is 2.5 feet. If the palm tree next to her casts a shadow of 8.75 feet at the same time of day, how tall is the palm tree?

Please help me this is due tomorrow

The height of the palm tree is 21 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Katie is 6 feet tall and casts a shadow that is 2.5 feet, if the palm tree next to her casts a shadow of 8.75 feet at the same time of day, to determine how tall is the palm tree the following calculation must be performed:

2.5 = 6

8.75 = X

(8.75 x 6) / 2.5 = X

52.5 / 2.5 = X

21 = X

Therefore, the height of the palm tree is 21 feet.
