A geometry problem by Joan Metal
There is a man whose height is 1.80 meters and whose shadow is 1 meter long. Next to him there's a tree whose shadow is 5 metres long, can you find the height of the tree?
Clue: All shadows come from the same sun position making the same angle with the floor.
Note: The picture isn't scale!
