If a 6 foot man cast a shadow of 4 feet, how high is a tree that cast a shadow of 32 feet?

Answer 1

6 / 4 = x / 32

32 * 6 = 4x
192 = 4x
48 = x

The tree is 48 ft high.

Answer 2

The shadow the 6 foot man cast was 67% of the total heighth. 4/6=.67. Therefore, a 32 foot tree will cast a shadow 67% of its total height. 32 x .67 = 21.44 feet.

Answer 3

6 x 32 = 192 then 192/4 = 48 so x=48

Answer 4

6/4 = x/32 so x=48

Answer 5

Depends on whether the man and the tree cast their respective shadows at the same time of day.

Answer 6

48 feet

Answer 7

Well, someone's already beaten me to the math. Darn!

Oh, well. The tree's 48 feet tall.

Answer 8

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. ~John 3:16-17 The world - not the Jews or the Israelites. Matthew wrote for the Jews. If what you say is true, then you're calling Jesus a liar. Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."~Matthew 28:16-20 ALL NATIONS.

Answer 9
