Given:-

The figure shows a child estimating the height of a tree by looking at the top of the tree with a mirror. Assuming that both the child and the tree form right angles with the ground.

To find:-

which of the following proportions can be used to estimate the height of the tree?

Now we use the proportion as,

So the propotion formula here is,

[tex]\frac{a}{d}=\frac{b}{c}[/tex]

So now we substitute the known values. so we get,

[tex]\frac{h}{4}=\frac{12}{5}[/tex]

So the required answer is OPTION D.
