Maria is standing next to a tree. The tree cast a shadow that is 5.4 ft long. Maria's shadow is 2.25 ft long. The angle formed from the sun hitting the tree and Maria are the same.
Then using the value of θ to find the height of the tree Tan θ = [tex] \frac{oppoaite}{5.4} [/tex] 2.22... = [tex] \frac{x}{5.4} [/tex] [tex]x=12[/tex] feet
