Sagot :

Answer:

h = 17.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 2 similar right triangles as models of the situation

one has legs with George's height and shadow

the other is the height h of the tree and length of it's shadow

the corresponding sides of the 2 triangles are in proportion, that is

[tex]\frac{6.25}{h}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{10}{28}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

10h = 175 ( divide both sides by 10 )

h = 17.5 m
