Answer:
36 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Looking at the shadow of the stick, it is 2/3 as long the length of the stick.
We know the shadow is 24 feet, so 24 is 2/3 of x (the length of the tree)
Multiply 24 by 3/2 (the reciprocal of 2/3) to get x.
24/1 * 3/2
Cross-cancellation
12/1 * 3/1
12 * 3
36 ft
The height of the tree is 36 feet.
