Answer to Problem 10E

Height of the tree is 4. 5m .

Explanation of Solution

Given information :

It is given that, on a sunny day, Jason measures the length of his shadow and the length of a tree’s shadow.

  Glencoe Algebra 2 Student Edition C2014, Chapter 0.7, Problem 10E

In the given question, it can be seen that the ratio of Jason’s shadow and shadow of the tree is equal to height of Jason and height of the tree. It means that they are similar,

So, the ratio of their corresponding sides is equal,

Finding ‘height of the tree’

  hieght of treeheight of Jason=length of tree's shadowlength of Jason shadowheight of tree1.5=7.52.5height of tree=3×1.5height of tree=4.5m

So,

Height of the tree is 4. 5m .
