Marlene wants to know the height of a nearby tree the trees casting a shadow that is 13 ft long. Marlene places a yard stick perpendicular to the ground. The yardstick casts a shadow that is 2 feet long. To the nearest tenth of a foot what is the height of the tree?
If the unit you’re doing is similar polygons/triangles, then the tree is 19.5 ft tall. *** I’m from Canada so I’m not quite sure what a yardstick is but I’m assuming it’s a yard which is 3 ft so that’s what I used in my calculations lol
