In sunlight, a vertical stick has a height of 5 ft and casts a shadow 3 ft long at the same time that a nearby tree casts a shadow 15 ft long. how tall is the tree?

The tree is 25 feet tall. Given the height of the stick and the shadow it cast, the angle formed by the sun and the stick's height can be obtained by taking the Inverse Tangent of 3/5. This is equal to 30.93. This angle is equal to the angle formed by the sun and the tree's height. Using the tangent formula, Tan (30.93)=tree's shadow (15 ft)/ height of the tree, giving the answer 25 feet.

1.) 18+5 is one way i’m pretty sure there are others but i can’t think of them right now
