The observer sees the tops of two trees at the same angle a. It is 9 m from one tree and 21 m from the other.
The trees stand on a level. How tall is the second tree if the height of the first is 6 m? Remember that the eyes of a standing person are approximately 1.5 m above the ground.

Correct answer:

x =  12 m

Step-by-step explanation:

c=1.5 m  (6c)/9=(xc)/21 (61.5)/9=(x1.5)/21  3x=36  x=336=12  x=12=12 m
