If I want to find the height of the tree, what measures do I need to know?

The information you have You know that the flagpole is 58 feet tall The flagpole’s shadow is 50.4 feet long The tree’s shadow is 48.7 feet long Draw these measurements onto your picture and find the height of the tree.

This girl looks confused and needs help finding the height of the hoop!

Information you have The girl is 5.5 feet tall Her shadow (hard to see in the picture) is 8.8 feet The shadow of the basketball hoop is 18.7 feet

How tall is the pyramid?

Information you have There is a stick at the top of the pyramid’s shadow (can’t see it in the picture) that is also casting a shadow The stick is 3m tall and casts a shadow that is 10.6m long The base of the pyramid is 230.4m The shadow the pyramid is casting is 400m
