Answer:

The tree was 33.6 meters tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

So the question is "How tall is the tree?" I take it.

tree height/shadow length = ladder height / shadow length

Notice that the heights are both in the numerator. A proportion should always do this. It should have the same units on either the two denominators or the 2 numerators.

x / 42 = 2.4 / 3                  Multiply both sides by 42

x = 42 * 2.4 / 3

x = 100.8 / 3

x = 33.6

Answer:

33.6

Step-by-step explanation:

x/42 = 2.4/3

x = 2.4/3 x 42

x = 2.4/1 x 14

x = 33.6/1

x = 33.6
