A tree casts a 25 foot shadow. At the same time of day, a 6 foot man standing near the tree casts a 9 foot shadow. What is the approximate height of the tree to the nearest foot?

ummmm.... that's nice buttwosky... but honestly... i could go the WHOLE entire year without knowing that... actually... my whole life... :o

A tree casts a shadow 18 m long. At the same time, the shadow cast by a 42-cm tall statue is 64 cm long. Find the height of the tree.

what is the angel of elevation of the sun when a 35 feet pole casts a 20 feet shadow?

A 25 foot shadow at same time of day, a 6 foot man near tree casts a g foot shadow. WHAT IS THE HEIGHT OF THE TREE TO NEAREST FOOT?

To find the approximate height of the tree, we can use proportions. We know that the ratio of the height of the tree to the length of its shadow is the same as the ratio of the height of the man to the length of his shadow.

Let's assign variables:
- H represents the height of the tree
- S represents the length of the tree's shadow
- h represents the height of the man
- s represents the length of the man's shadow

We are given:
S = 25 ft
h = 6 ft
s = 9 ft

Now, we can set up the proportions:
(H/S) = (h/s)

Plugging in the values:
(H/25) = (6/9)

To solve this proportion, we can cross-multiply:
9H = 25 * 6

Now, divide both sides by 9 to solve for H:
H = (25 * 6) / 9

Calculating, we get:
H = 150 / 9

Simplifying, we have:
H ≈ 16.67 feet

Therefore, the approximate height of the tree to the nearest foot is 17 feet.

6:9::Height:25

or
6/9=X/25 or X= 6*25/9
