The Christmas tree will be 50 feet tall for the blueprint below to work

Find the diagram attached;

Given the following parameter:

  • Height of the tower = 100 feet
  • Base of the larger triangle = 2 feet
  • Base of the smaller triangle = 1ft

Using the similarity theorem of a triangle;

100/(1+1) = H/1

100/2 = H/1

50 = H

H = 50

Hence the Christmas tree will be 50 feet tall for the blueprint below to work
