There are two trees in a park. The taller tree is 6 feet 8 inches. The shorter tree is 6 inches shorter than half the height of the taller tree. What is the height of the shorter tree?

[(6'8") / 2] - 6"

34 To find the height of the shorter tree, we first need to determine half the height of the taller tree and then subtract 6 inches from it.

The taller tree is 6 feet 8 inches, or 80 inches. So half the height of the taller tree would be 80/2 = 40 inches.

Now, we need to subtract 6 inches from half the height of the taller tree. So, 40 - 6 = 34 inches.

Therefore, the height of the shorter tree is 34 inches.
