Question

1. enter your answer. a dog is 0.45 meter tall and creates a 0.3 meter shadow. how tall is a tree that creates a 2.2 - meter shadow at the same time? m

Explanation:

Step1: Set up proportion

Let the height of the tree be $x$. The ratio of the dog's height to its shadow is the same as the ratio of the tree's height to its shadow. So we have $\frac{0.45}{0.3}=\frac{x}{2.2}$.

Step2: Solve for $x$

Cross - multiply: $0.3x = 0.45\times2.2$. Then $0.3x=0.99$. Divide both sides by $0.3$: $x=\frac{0.99}{0.3}=3.3$.

Answer:

$3.3$
