Chris is standing near a tree. Chris is six feet tall and his shadow is two feet long. How tall is the tree if it's shadow is eight feet long?
(I suggest you draw a diagram on your scratch paper, write a proportion, and solve.)

Step-by-step explanation:

t/8=6/2

t=48/2

t=24 ft

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:   x^2 + y^2 = 1024

discussion:

the equation of a circle with center (h,k) and radius "r" is

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2.

in our case

(x-0)^2 + (y-0) ^2 = 32^2 = 1024

you,
