A 20 feet tree casts a shadow that is 32 feet long. What is the distance from the top of the tree to the tip of the shadow? ​

37.7359

Step-by-step explanation:

first you visualize the shape created

if you visualize it... it will look like a right angled triangle

and we are looking for the longest side

remember the pythagoras theorem c^2= a^2 + b^2

in this case we are looking for c

a^2= 20^2

b^2= 32^2

400+ 1024= 1424

therefore c^2= 1424

then you square root 1424

to get 37.7359
