Person's height = 5 ft
Person's shadow = 10 ft
Tree's height = ?
Tree's shadow = 110 ft
- Use the Thales' theorem to solve this problem
Person's height / Person's shadow = Tree's height / Tree's shadow
- Substitution
5 / 10 = x / 110
-Solve for x
x = 5 (110) / 10
-Simplification
x = 550 / 10
-Result
x = 55 ft
-Conclusion
The tree is 55 ft height
