A tree 36 feet high casts a shadow 8 feet long. At the same time, another tree casts a shadow 6 feet long.How tall is the second tree?
Answer(s): B
The ratio of the heights of the two trees will be the same as the ratio of the lengths of their shadows. The ratio of the length of the shadow of the second tree to the length of the shadow of the first tree is 6/8 or 3/4.Thus, the height of the second tree is 3/4 of the height of the 36 feet tree.3/4 × 36/1 = 27/1 = 27 feet
