Using the properties of similar triangles Find the height of the tree.

Answer:
h = 15 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
using the 2 similar triangles in the diagram then the ratios of corresponding sides are in proportion.
let h be the height of the tree
[tex]\frac{h}{5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{24}{8}[/tex] = 3 ( multiply both sides by 5 )
h = 15 ft
