2. At 3pm you notice that you are casting a shadow on the ground. You measure your shadow to be 8ft long and the main tree on the garden's shadow to be 5meters long. a) The school needs to know the height of the tree so they can order more that size. With the help of similar triangles, using your height(in feet), to determine the height of the Tree b) Another student build a clinometer and thinks the angle of elevation from the end of the tree's shadow to the top of the tree is 40°. Using your knowledge of Primary Trigonometri Ratios (SohCahToa), do you agree?
