A man is 5 feet 9 inches tall. To find the height of a tree, the shadow of the man and the shadow of the tree were measured. The length of the man's shadow was 3 feet 6 inches. The length of the tree's shadow was 10 feet 6 inches. What is the height of the tree?

17 feets 3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Converting the parameters to inches only:

Recall:

1 feets = 12 inches

Man's height : 5 feets 9 inches = (12 *5) + 9 = 69 inches

Man's shadow : 3 feets 6 inches = (12 * 3) + 6 = 42 inches

Tree's shadow : 10 feets 6 inches = (12 * 10) + 6 = 126 inches

(Tree's height / tree's shadow) = (man's height / man's shadow)

Let tree's height = x

x / 126 = 69 / 42

Solve for x

42x = 126 * 69

42x = 8694

x = 8694 / 42

x = 207 inches

207 / 12 = 17 feets 3 inches
