Step 1
Given that sugar maples are 8.4 meters tall
Length=8.4m
Telephone company plans to remove the top third of the trees.
We have
Length cut=8.4m×13
Length cut=8.43m
Length cut=2.8m
Now, new length of sugar maple is calculated as
New Length=8.4m2.8m
Length=5.6m
Hence, new height of sugar maples is 5.6m
