A tree and its shadow is proportional to Harry and his shadow. If Harry is 6 feet tall and his shadow

is 9 feet, find the height of the tree if the tree's shadow is 15 feet long.

A 15ft

B 12ft

C 10ft

D 9ft

Answer:12

Answer: the height of the tree would be 10 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

A tree and its shadow is proportional to Harry and his shadow. This means that

Height of the tree/height of the tree's shadow = Harry's height/height of his shadow

If Harry is 6 feet tall, his shadow is 9 feet and the tree's shadow is 15 feet long, then the height of the tree would be

6/9 = height of tree/15

height of tree = (6 * 15) / 9 = 10 feet.
