Rahul wanted to find the height of a tree in his garden. He checked the ratio of his height to his shadow's length. It was 4:1. he then measured the shadow of the tree. It was 15 feet. So what was the height of the tree?

Given:

The ratio of the tree's height and its shadow = 4: 1.

Length of the tree's shadow = 15 ft.

To do: Find the height of the tree.

Solution:

Let, the length of the tree = h ft.

So,

⇒ h : 15 = 4 : 1

⇒ $\frac{h}{15} = \frac{4}{1}$

⇒ h = 15 × 4

⇒ h = 60

Therefore, the height of the tree is 60 ft
