The average yearly growth rate of the height of the tree is 2 1/3 feet

Given:

original height of the pine tree = 40 1/2 feet

Height in next 7 1/2 years = 57 feet

Change in height = Height in next 7 1/2 years - original height of the pine tree

= 57 height - 40 1/2 feet

= 17 1/2 feet

Average growth rate yearly = Change in height / number of years

= 17 1/2 feet ÷ 7 1/2 years

= 35/2 ÷ 15/2

= 35/2 × 2/15

= (35 × 2) / (2 × 15)

= 70/30

= 2 10/30

= 2 1/3 feet

Therefore, the average yearly growth rate of the height of the tree is 2 1/3 feet
