WHAT IS THE HEIGHT OF THE MAPLE TREE?
let us say x -> 15ft
therefore x= (4*15)2.5
is the answer i get the height of the tree?
Yes,Sorry I didnt make it clearer.
To describe the proportion:
The height of the maple tree is to the height of the child as the shadow of the maple tree is to the shadow of the child.
