Respuesta :

Answer:

  87 3/11 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The shadows are presumed to be in proportion, so we have ...

  (object height)/(shadow length) = (6 ft)/(11 ft) = (tree height)/(160 ft)

Multiplying by 160 ft, we find ...

  (tree height) = (6 ft)(160/11)

  (tree height) = 87 3/11 ft
