The tree is 1/3rd higher than it's shadow?
What tree???Originally Posted by chazzy2501
There is no tree. It is you who bends in the wind. [/matrixism]What tree???
I'm assuming it was supposed to be "building" as opposed to "tree" but it was changed at the last minute.

@DaveP - do you know the answer and are wondering if we can get it as it's a clever question, or do you want the answer?
........ no, I don't know it.......
No I don't know the answer [as it stands I don't think it can be answered] It made me laugh when I saw it and I thought it was worth sharing.
The answer is a moose.
81 feet is my answer...do I win anything?
No. You didn't show how you worked it out.
At the time the measurement was done the man's shadow was 2/3 of his height...or put another way his height is 3/2 times his shadow length...No. You didn't show how you worked it out.
therefore the building height is 3/2 times it's shadow length...
Okay, the man's shadow is 2/3 his height so the buildings shadow is 2/3 54ft, 36ft. Since the tree must be behind the building which is thus obscuring its shadow, the tree must be less than 36ft tall?
Now I know why I was never good at exams...always read the question carefully...
